A homeless father and son living in an airport terminal after the death of the mother, find hope when the little boy sees a bird find freedom. Great book for a RA or SR and a good opportunity to teach empathy. ESOL strategies 3 and 4 encourage self talk and link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge and UDL‘s 3.1 activate or supply background knowledge and 8.3 foster collaboration and community would be satisfied with this book. #LAE3414sp19
