What to expect
In this moving 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 bell tower—she searches far and wide for the thing that will help her get ready for whatever tomorrow may bring.
Here is a soul-stirring 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.
"This ode to renewal and quiet faith is both a glimpse into life's sacred moments and a tender meditation on motherhood and hope, exploring the unseen forces that guide even the smallest lives toward something greater."—The Horn Book
