도심의 고층빌딩 숲에서 날고 있던 새 한 마리가 빌딩의 유리창에 비친 하늘을 진짜 하늘로 착각하고 부딪히는 바람에 땅으로 떨어지고 말았습니다. 아무도 새가 부딪히는 소리를 듣지 못했으며, 땅에 떨어지는 모습을 보지 못했습니다. 그리고 수많은 사람이 오가는 인도에 누워 있어도 아무도 눈길 한 번 주지 않았습니다.
하지만 엄마 손을 잡고 가던 어린 윌은 날개가 부러진 채 땅바닥에서 괴로워하는 새를 발견하고는 가슴에 안았습니다. 엄마는 목도리를 벗어서 새를 감싸고는 집으로 데려갔습니다. 그리고는 온 가족이 정성을 다해 다친 새를 돌봐 주었습니다. 한 달 가량 시간이 지나고 마침내 새의 날개를 감고 있던 붕대를 풀어주자, 새는 어설프게나마 날개짓을 했습니다. 창밖에서 자유롭게 날고 있는 새들을 보면서 다친 새와 윌의 가족은 희망을 키웠습니다.
그리고 마침내 새가 날개짓을 할 수 있게 되자, 윌은 엄마 아빠와 함께 처음 새를 발견했던 곳으로 가서, 새를 하늘 높이 날려 보냈습니다. 힘찬 날개짓을 하면서 새는 하늘 높이 날아서 사라져 버렸습니다...

Book Description
In a spare urban fable, Bob Graham brings us one small boy, one loving family, and one miraculous story of hope and healing. "No one saw the bird fall."
In a city full of hurried people, only young Will notices the bird lying hurt on the ground. With the help of his sympathetic mother, he gently wraps the injured bird and takes it home. In classic Bob Graham style, the beauty is in the details: the careful ministrations with an eyedropper, the bedroom filled with animal memorabilia, the saving of the single feather as a good-luck charm for the bird's return to the sky. Wistful and uplifting, here is a tale of possibility — and of the souls who never doubt its power.
School Library Journal Starred Review
Poignantly told and visually rich, this narrative flies high. When a pigeon breaks its wing, no one notices except Will. Sporting a bright red jacket, starkly contrasted against his drab surroundings, he and his parents take the injured creature into their home. Clean lines and effective panels showcase its steady recovery, readily receiving encouragement from the family along the way. Graham's succinct text masterfully reveals the bird's resilience. "A loose feather can't be put back/but a broken wing can sometimes heal." Pen, watercolor, and chalk illustrations add depth to this tender tale as the injured bird wistfully watches a flock of flyers outside Will's window. Exemplary use of color and perspective denote shifting moods, and thin lines enhance the vulnerability of this boy and his bird. Gently expressed and honestly delivered, this quiet, yet powerful story provides young readers with an affirming conclusion.
Booklist Starred Review
Quietly, effectively, Graham tells the simple story of a boy who finds a fallen bird and nurses it back to health. The text is minimal. In a busy city, “No one saw the bird fall.” But a little boy walking with his mother spies the injured bird and brings it home. Up until this point, the art has effectively utilized the oversize format, filling it with full-page pictures, vertical and horizontal strips, and cartoon-style boxes in cloudy hues. At the moment the boy lifts the bird, Graham slows the story and offers a two-page spread full of bright, hopeful colors and an intense focus on the boy with the bird in hand. Turn the page and both mood and perspective change once more. Now the pages are full of people, walking, biking, rushing, while in an upper corner of the spread, encircled in a glow, readers find boy and bird; the unspoken, unwritten message is clear. Who cares in such a large place if a small pigeon falls? One child does. Although the rest of the story is a little anticlimactic, there is a satisfying reality to it as the bird is bandaged, heals, and is set free. Because this is such a visual piece, however, readers, young and old, will return to the story to look more deeply; they won’t be disappointed.
Kirkus Reviews
"Masterful control over pacing and perspective."
Publishers Weekly
"Readers will savor the way Will's parents unquestioningly rally around him, and appreciate the opportunity to imagine themselves as selfless healers."
Journal Inquirer
"This simple poignant story is told with few words."
The New York Times
"The simplicity of Graham's story contains a surprising power."
