Description

A story about the heart-opening effect that taking care of a wounded creature has on a wounded boy, from acclaimed picture-book creators Jairo Buitrago and Rafael Yockteng. Adrián is always in trouble, at school and at home, while Santiago gets along quite well.

But they are friends. When Adrián finds a wounded bird in an abandoned lot in the midst of the city, things begin to change.

Taking care of the bird, learning all about it, discovering that it is a falcon, loving it — and accepting what this love means — gives Adrián a chance to show others a glimpse of who he truly is.

Santiago has always known that Adrián has a big heart, and his steadfast friendship is also the reason Adrián has a chance to heal.  Key Text Featuresillustrations Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.
