(2) K-3 A downcast loner, teased or ignored by his classmates, trudges Manhattan's geometric, gray streets, oblivious to possible friendship or fun until his spirits are gradually lifted by the insistent bird following him. Then dusk brings a bullies' ambush, conflict, sorrow--and a dreamlike resurrection accompanied by a many-colored flock. Staake's graphically distinguished art conveys extraordinary depth of emotion for this quietly beautiful book.
