A story about the heart-opening effect that taking care of a wounded creature has on a wounded boy, from acclaimed picture-book creators Jairo Buitrago and Rafael Yockteng.

Adri n is always in trouble, at school and at home, while Santiago gets along quite well. But they are friends. When Adri n finds a wounded bird in an abandoned lot in the midst of the city, things begin to change. Taking care of the bird, learning all about it, discovering that it is a falcon, loving it -- and accepting what this love means -- gives Adri n a chance to show others a glimpse of who he truly is. Santiago has always known that Adri n has a big heart, and his steadfast friendship is also the reason Adri n has a chance to heal.
