This book was not what I was expecting.  A little bird with a broken wing can not fly south for the winter and must find shelter. But most of the trees don’t want to help, until the bird finds the evergreens.  Apparently this is an indigenous tale that explains why some trees lose their leaves.  I like that the book gives a bit of history of the tale, but I find it odd, it does not list an author in the pages.  I wonder if that is because the tale is being told by a non-indigenous person?  I like this story, but think it would be better if it was told and illustrated like the indigenous story it says it is.
