Riegel the Jumping Eagle just wants to bully others. What should the other birds do? A picture book about real courage.

The life of the Duck and other birds in the Happy House is as soft and sweet as dessert dough. Until, one Wednesday, some eagles start building a ski jumping tower next to them.

First the eagles jump towards the House, then they come to the yard to bully the bird friends, and on Saturday they are already moving into the house!

What should the Duck do if he is too scared to stay, but also too scared to leave?

Independent sequel to the Nordic Council Award nominated picture book The Duck Who Was Afraid to Fly.
