Living with Tully, Coo experiences warmth, safety, and human relationships for the first time. Tully mends Burr's broken wing and coaxes Coo from her isolated life. But then a hungry hawk nearly kills Burr, the pigeon she loves most, and leaves him gravely hurt.Ĭoo must make a perilous trip to the ground for the first time to find Tully, a retired postal worker who occasionally feeds Coo's flock, and who can heal injured birds. Coo has lived her entire life on the rooftop with the pigeons who saved her. Ten years ago, an impossible thing happened: a flock of pigeons picked up a human baby who had been abandoned in an empty lot and carried her, bundled in blankets, to their roof. For readers who love books by Kate DiCamillo and Katherine Applegate. Gorgeous and literary, this is an unforgettable animal story about friendship, family, home, and belonging. In this exceptional debut, one young girl's determination to save the flock she calls family creates a lasting impact on her community and in her heart. Next month, we'll be reading The Magical Imperfect by Chris Baron.'An unforgettable story of friendship, love, and finding your flock.' -Erin Entrada Kelly, Newbery Medal-winning author of Hello, Universe
