A gentle story of friendship between a young girl new to a neighbourhood and her elderly Japanese neighbour, this book focuses on the seasonal cycle of birds and on Mrs. Naska teaching Abby how to make origami birds. The birds also help Abby learn about injury, healing, and providing comfort to Mrs. Naska during her recovery from a fall. The story is enhanced by simple illustrations in textured and coloured paper collages. .
