Description

A grandmother and grandchild nurse an injured bird together in this touching story about caring for all creatures, the wonder of nature, and letting go--now in board book!

On a snowy day, a grandmother and grandchild find an injured bird.

They take it home and care for it until it can fly around the living room. It is fantastic--just like everything at Abuela's house!

But a fantastic moment is also bittersweet, for the little bird's recovery means that it's time to let it fly free.

Drawing inspiration from a formative childhood experience, Blanca Gómez crafts a deceptively simple story that is morally and emotionally resonant and brimming with love, wonder, and a deep respect for the natural world.
