Added to the library in honor of the birth of Raven Rayne Coy. Children's Literature: In the middle of the busy city no one notices the bird that has hit a window and fallen?no one except young Will. He stops, ignores his mother's warning, picks up the bird and insists on taking it home, along with a lost feather. His mother and dad work with him to try to heal the broken wing. "With rest…and time…and a little hope…a bird may fly again." And we follow the emotion-packed visual tale paired with the spare text all the way to the happy ending. The small amount of text is unremarkable. But Graham's visual story is magical, beginning on the front endpapers. The double-page picture focused on Will bending to gently pick up the bird clearly shows his concern. The next double page is textless; as all sorts of people walk around him, a subtle yellow spot is on Will and the bird in the middle. Ink and watercolor with brushed chalk backgrounds create the sequence of sketchy, gentle images that tell the tale in vignettes and a variety of scene sizes. Will's cherishing of the single feather throughout adds to the emotional impact. There is a lesson of hope here for all. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz
