A simple act of neighborly kindness and a bird that needs their aid
helps former refugee Sami settle into his new community with new-found
friend Moe
Moe's neighbors on Wishbone Street come from all over the world, and
she's excited to meet the new boy who just arrived from Syria. Sami
isn't quite ready to talk about his past, but he loves birds just as
much as Moe does. And who wouldn't have fun in a parkette full of
packing snow? When the children discover a female cardinal stunned by
the cold, Sami uses his experience taking care of pigeons in Syria to
help rescue the bird--an incident that helps Sami to feel more at home.
In Birds on Wishbone Street, author/illustrator Suzanne Del Rizzo
demonstrates the power of an act of kindness, telling a story about
finding home and making friends in new places. Illustrated with her
signature polymer clay art, the story revisits characters from Del
Rizzo's New York Times Notable My Beautiful Birds and reminds us
that we're all more similar than we are different.
