Birds on Wishbone Street
English
By (author): Suzanne Del Rizzo
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
Moes neighbors on Wishbone Street come from all over the world, and shes excited to meet the new boy who just arrived from Syria. Sami isnt quite ready to talk about his past, but he loves birds just as much as Moe does. And who wouldnt 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 birdan 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 Rizzos New York Times Notable My Beautiful Birds and reminds us that were all more similar than we are different.
