Beloved American artist Norman Rockwell wrote and illustrated just one
children's book, and now it's on the "Dragonfly" list! In a touching tale,
believed to be autobiographical, an awkward young wood thrush leaves home in
search of his own genius and discovers his talent for musical improvisation.
But when his beautiful singing is put on display, Willie falls silent--until an
old friend comes to his rescue, that is. "Rockwell's effusive color
illustrations will warm new generations, while adult admirers will savor the
Rockwellian faces and gestures in a new context" -- "Publishers Weekly
