(4) K-3 No one notices the injured pigeon until a small boy picks it up and takes it home. With care, hope, and love, the bird heals and is released. Graham's well-composed cartoon drawings make clear the importance of kindness in the midst of larger conflicts. The book's worthy message will pull at some readers' heartstrings; others may find the lesson heavy-handed.
