How to Heal a Broken Wing

"High above the city, no one heard the soft thud of feathers against glass. No one saw the bird fall. No one looked down . . . except Will." On a crowded city street, a young boy crouches by a fallen pigeon and persuades his mother to let him take it home with them. Together, the boy's family tends to it, hoping that "with rest . . . and time," the bird may fly again. Full-color art includes wordless sequences that advance the plot. Winner of the 2009 Charlotte Zolotow Award.
