When We Fly

Lucy has always been good at fixing things — the wonky mailbox, broken watches, even Dad's old binoculars. And Lucy is happy to help her dad; they share a special bond. It's just the two of them, after all, since Lucy's mother died. So when Lucy finds a tiny bird with a broken wing, she's sure she can fix him too. She names him Flap and keeps him safe in a shoebox, while she makes plans for some sort of solution.

But not everything that's broken can be fixed, and when Lucy realizes that painful truth, she also learns that she can lean on her dad — and everyone else who loves her — while she grieves. This is a tender and loving father-daughter story celebrating love, loss, and healing, which even includes back matter about what to do if you find an injured bird.

Description

"McGeachin’s illustrations provide a poignant subtext for this moving debut, an Australian import. In the very first scenes, Lucy wears an orange scarf. It becomes a nest for the injured bird. The same scarf also appears early on in pictures on the wall of a woman readers will assume is Lucy’s mother.... A gentle, effective presentation of grieving and moving on." — Kirkus Reviews
