Publisher's Synopsis
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
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
is brimming with love, wonder, and a deep respect for the natural world.
