When a city bird hits a high-rise window and falls to the pavement only Will notices, and wants to help.

A sweet little story, told with few words and simple illustrations, but it touched my heart in a big way. ( )

Comic style art tells the sparsely narrated story of a boy who brings an injured pigeon home to his apartment to recover. ( )

Although beautifully illustrated and sparely written, this book captures the essence of a child's endless hope and faith in the power of love. ( )

A bird damages its wing from hitting a glass window on a building. No one notices the injured bird on the street besides a little boy named Will. Will takes the bird home and helps it with its healing journey. At the end of the book, the bird is able to fly again and takes off. I really loved the use of color in this book besides everything is dull or in black in white on the street, besides Will and his bright red coat. He illuminates the page by bringing light into the bird's life by caring. I think this is very powerful image and great use of color. I enjoy the illustrations in this book that are done by using pen, chalk, and watercolor. This book would be great for primary readers.

I love this book! It is the perfect book to read to the class when there is fighting or an event where people or animals get hurt and how to respond to those events. The illustrations are cartoon like and have spotlights that show the main events on the page.
