(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Ana Juan. Nearly ten years after being blown ashore--as a baby in an inflatable pool, fiercely guarded by a lavender-feathered bird--Pablo wants to know why he was placed into the ocean and why "Birdy" doesn't fly. Readers will identify with Pablo's curiosity about his past and his love for his pet. Spanish phrases are scattered throughout the lyrical text; occasional imagistic black-and-white illustrations reflect the mood.
