Many readers ask: is Wookiwoo a real parrot? The answer is yes! Author Darren Perman grew up in Malibu, California, where a wild parrot named Wookiwoo would visit his neighborhood. One morning, Darren woke up to the sounds of Wookiwoo and his family flying from tree to tree, and the seed of this story was planted. The book captures the real emotions of that experience: the joy of connection, the love that grows between unlikely friends, and the bittersweet beauty of letting go. Darren, who now lives in Dana Point, California with his wife Ruby and their children Alanni and Kanoa, wrote the book as a reminder to always say "I Love You," because you never know when it might be the last chance. The story has often been compared to The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein for its emotional depth and timeless message.
