How I love this book. Peter Carnavas is a wizard with words and a master of character... My Brother Ben is absolutely bursting with heart, and with the kind of quiet power of the very best books, the ones that leave an indelible mark

There should be more books like this: gentle books that draw us slowly in and make us want to linger, books fashioned with kindness and family at their heart

- Glenda Millard, author of The Naming of Tishin Silk,

Oh, how I loved this story. It fills your heart with (bird)song: of love, hope, happiness and the message that it is ok to be different. It's a must-read for the holidays
