false 2848345 1 <b>In a spare urban fable, Bob Graham brings us one small boy, one loving family, and one miraculous story of hope and healing.</b><br><br>"No one saw the bird fall."<br><br>In a city full of hurried people, only young Will notices the bird lying hurt on the ground. With the help of his sympathetic mother, he gently wraps the injured bird and takes it home. In classic Bob Graham style, the beauty is in the details: the careful ministrations with an eyedropper, the bedroom filled with animal memorabilia, the saving of the single feather as a good-luck charm for the bird's return to the sky. Wistful and uplifting, here is a tale of possibility &#8212; and of the souls who never doubt its power. 2874464 book 26 8 2008 How to Heal a Broken Wing total:108|5:47|4:40|3:18|2:3|1:0| 108 455 154 56 5 2 false false Thu Oct 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 13:02:41 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 13:13:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 06:34:37 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 08 12:46:57 -0700 2009 The story begins on the end papers, where we see a pigeon flying near the page edge, tall buildings and then a wall of glass that foreshadow the first line of text: "High above the city, no one heard the soft thud of feathers against glass." ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu May 21 17:01:41 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 17:26:37 -0700 2009

Loved this book about a pigeon that hits a window and breaks its wing, the caring boy (and his family) who picks it up and helps it heal, then sets it free again!]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 19:50:45 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 19:52:24 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Dec 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 13:01:30 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 13:19:46 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Nov 13 04:57:53 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 05:00:22 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 14 12:38:17 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 12:38:56 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2848345
