“Such a visual piece . . . readers young and old will return to the story to look more deeply; they won’t be disappointed.” — Booklist (starred review)

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. Wistful and uplifting in true Bob Graham fashion, here is a tale of possibility — and of the souls who never doubt its power.

Editorial Reviews

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...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…Because this is such a visual piece…readers, young and old, will return to the story to look more deeply; they won’t be disappointed.

Have you ever seen a bird with a broken wing and wanted to help it? That is exactly what happens in the story How to Heal a Broken Wing written and illustrated by Bob Graham. In our opinion this book will make you happy.
In the story a boy named Will goes into the big city with his mom. They see a bird laying on the sidewalk with a broken wing. Will stops his mom from walking and together they gently pick up the bird and bring it home to heal its wing. You will have to read the book to find out what happens to the bird.
Our favorite parts of the book involve Will caring so much for this bird. Our least favorite part is near the beginning when the city people do not care for the bird. The people were busy and walked with their heads up. Nobody even noticed the poor bird with the broken wing, except for Will!
There are very few words in the book but the illustrations help tell the story. They are colorful and filled with details. The illustrations help reveal the true meaning of the book which is to show compassion to all living creatures.
This book is a must for every reader. We recommend this book for ages 7 and older! We rate this book 5 out of 5 stars!

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2016

This is hands-down one of my favorite pieces of children's literature for any age. I taught second grade but have used this book with kids and adults of all ages. I am passionate about teaching compassion and kindness, aiming to gently nudge people toward thinking more outward. That begins with awareness. This book demonstrates that perfectly and becomes the "hook" I use to set the tone of compassion in my classroom as we all strive to be "good noticers" like the boy in this book. You can't do something kind for someone unless you are paying attention. That mindset can only come as a result of humility and a slow, intentional way of moving through life.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most charming children's picturebooks
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2013

I fell in love with this story the first time I read it. After many readings to my young students, this book still creates feelings of emotional attachment and caring for these amazing birds that share our city with us. I live in Queens and the wonderful illustrations of the city, especially lower Manhattan, make the setting of this book very personal. Pigeons are everywhere, but humans hardly notice them, because the species has adapted so well to our urban environment. I want all the children to whom I read this book to identify with the little boy and the pigeon. I hope that the message to all of us is that caring for the natural world surrounding us is essential to our humanity and survival. A great story for Earth Day or any day.

I am an elementary school teacher with a Master's Degree in literacy. I cannot say enough about this book. Through minimal words and many pictures, this book teaches kindness and how anyone can make a difference. This book is excellent for teaching comprehension to primary students and can be used for writing: What words would you use for this series of pictures? It is also great for sequencing events or pure enjoyment. This is one of my favorite books.

This was a great story with a nice theme about caring for God's creatures - I purchased this to read to my 3rd grade catechism class - it was a bit hard reading to a large group - it loses a bit of it's meaning if everyone can't see the illustrations.- the art uses gray and dark tones too highlight the important parts - probably a better story to read one on one - if reading to a class be prepared to describe the pages.

This is a heart touching story about a small boy caring for a bird with a broken wing.
His mom helped her son take the bird home to be nursed back to health. Dad pitched in
and it became a family project, The fully recovered bird was released exactly where it had been found. To me the art of caring is nurtured through this book.
I recommend this book to be read to all children as a teaching tool to care about nature and family.

Lovely story. Underlying messages, of an injured bird , who no one appears to see, then someone notices & helps him to heal. Great survival & hope story & shows someone will care & things will get better. Evokes lots of empathy from even preschoolers. A bird was injured & falls from the sky in the city. Everyone walks passed , not seeing it. It's still alive , a boy & his family see the bird with a broken wing. They look after it with amazing TLC & , it's touchingly illustrated with few words in parts. You feel the atmosphere of the book throughout & how the characters feel. It's just beautiful & positive

Bob Graham is ace. If, like me, you love his illustrations and style then this story will not disappoint. In the story a bird hits a window and falls to the ground, injured. Nobody seems to notice, apart from a little boy, Will. I bought this for my 5 year old, but the other two loved it just as much. Bob Graham has told a story with few words, but his illustrations convey the sentiment perfectly.
