As she tends to the bird, Hilary begins to notice strange occurrences and feels a deep connection to the natural elements around her. The narrative weaves together themes of friendship, family, and the enchantment of nature, as Hilary embarks on a journey of self-discovery and courage, learning about the importance of protecting the vulnerable and the wonders of the world that often go unnoticed.

Jane Langton has retold the legend with her usual lucidity and grace, and Ilse Plume, an Italophile and the illustrator of three previous Godine books, has supplied illustrations that glow with the intensity of Renaissance jewelry. A perfect gift for anyone who embraces the relationship between man and the natural world.
