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
