How to Heal a Broken Wing

A bird is flying through the city, hits a building, and falls to the ground. A young boy named Will is the only one to see the bird lying injured on the ground - it had a broken wing. Will took the bird home, nurtured it, and let it rest. Wills family hope all of their TLC will help the bird to fly again. His family takes the bird back to where he found it. They release the bird and the bird flies away.

The pictures in the story add more to the story than just the few words in the story tell. The pictures are cartoon-like but are very sweet and colorful. Some pages have a full two page picture spread, others are asymmetrical or laid out like the Sunday comics.
