(3) K-3 Illustrated by Shadra Strickland. Bird dreams of becoming an artist. He especially enjoys watching and drawing birds. After the death of his drug-addict brother, Bird finds solace in his wise uncle's comparison between a bird's broken wing, which can be fixed, and a "broken soul," which cannot. This plaintive picture book in verse for intermediate readers features free-flowing watercolor, gouache, charcoal, and pen illustrations.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
