Young Will notices a bird lying on the ground in the middle of a bustling city. With the help of his mother he wraps it up and takes it home to loving care. The stark drawings and sparse text make this an ideal book for preschool and early grades, while the empathic character and urban fable of possibility encourage action by even the oldest of readers.
