In this moving picture book on the importance of hope, a small bird—nestled in a dusty crack in the Western Wall—feels a deep shift within, setting her on a path to overcoming her fear of change.
One day, Sparrow wakes up feeling different. Her world is on the brink of change and she knows that she must prepare. As she flies from one familiar corner of her life to the other—from the fruit stand to the top of the belltower—she searches far and wide for the thing that will help her embrace whatever tomorrow may bring.
Here is a soul-stirring picture book about change and how to embrace it with the help of hope—as demonstrated by a sweet sparrow embarking on the great journey of life.
