Description
From the creator of the Ezra Jack Keats Honor-winning picture book Every Little Kindness, this powerful and positive wordless story explores the all-important theme of forgiveness.When a young boy's beloved bird flies away, the only thing harder than tracking it down is forgiving the friend who let it escape. As he searches the town from sidewalk to treetop, what he finds instead of his lost pet is that people make mistakes all the time. But it might take his own mistake to discover the truth: even when all seems lost, forgiveness is a gift that comes back to you.
Told entirely in wordless illustrations with pops of color for every moment of forgiveness, this simple yet powerful story can be enjoyed by young readers, families, classmates, and friends. For anyone who has had a fight or experienced conflict with someone they care about-something we all go through-this gentle picture book shares comfort and timeless wisdom.
