The perfect integration of words and pictures creates a coherent and delightful whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen this charming book was first published in 1978, there was a widespread idea that it was too expensive and risky to publish a children's book in Canada. And so Margaret Atwood not only wrote and illustrated the book, she handlettered the type! The book was created in the old-fashioned way, using only two colors that mixed together to produce a surprisingly large range of tones and textures. The delightful result reminds us that technology hasn't necessarily made things better.

But they are friends. When Adrián finds a wounded bird in an abandoned lot in the midst of the city, things begin to change. Taking care of the bird, learning all about it, discovering that it is a falcon, loving it — and accepting what this love means — gives Adrián a chance to show others a glimpse of who he truly is. Santiago has always known that Adrián has a big heart, and his steadfast friendship is also the reason Adrián has a chance to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eillustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.6\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3\u003cbr\u003e\nDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\u003cbr\u003e\nIdentify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3\u003cbr\u003e\nDescribe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781773064574","Imprint":"Groundwood Books","KeyTextFeatures":"illustrations","MetaKeywords":"A la Orilla del Viento winner; Horn Book Fanfare; IBBY Honor list; Kirkus Best Picture Books; White Raven Award; picture book; illustrations; award winning author; award-winning author; award-winning illustrator; Latin America","OtherText_Accolades_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for author Jairo Buitrago, illustrator Rafael Yockteng and \u003cem\u003eWounded Falcons\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSBBY Outstanding International Books, 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommended \u003c\/strong\u003eJunior Library Guild Selection, 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"A powerfully, even divinely told slice of life.\" — \u003cem \u003eKirkus\u003c\/em\u003e, starred review \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"A moving meditation on the transformative power of friendships in all different forms.\" — \u003cem \u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e, starred review \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eWounded Falcons\u003c\/em\u003e provides a window into two young lives in a situation that will be unfamiliar to many Canadian children, with a hint at the end of the story that better things may be to come.\" — \u003cem\u003eCM: Canadian Review of Materials\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem \u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003eA testament to the strength that comes from caring for another, be they bird or beast.\" — \u003cem\u003eA Fuse #8 Production\u003c\/em\u003e Blog\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBuitrago and Yockteng are highly acclaimed picture-book creators with an award winning and best-selling backlist that includes \u003cem\u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTwo White Rabbits\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWalk with Me\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe duo’s books consistently earn many starred reviews. \u003cem\u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e received six.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a story about the power of friendship and love that will appeal to those who loved \u003cem\u003eLion and Mouse\u003c\/em\u003e also by Buitrago and Yockteng.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Quote_from_review_0":"\u003cp\u003eA powerfully, even divinely told slice of life.
