n★ A meaningful, heartwarming read...perfect for an early middle grade reading level and great for the classroom. Prendergast explores powerful themes in a way that is hopeful and shows kids they too can make a difference. A must-purchase for exploration of advocacy for kiddos with sensitive souls. -- School Library Journal (SLJ), starred reviewn nSara isnt great with strangers: she has selective mutism, so being in a new place isnt always easy.n nSaras little brother is born premature. He looks small and red, like a baby bird, so she calls him Birdy. Because she cant visit him often, she writes him letters about everything thats happened since hes been born--like how her mom and stepdad are sending her to Toronto to stay with her half-sister, Abby. And how Abby lives in this amazing storage container house on a vacant lot and hopes to build a whole community of them for unhoused people. Sara discovers she too has ways of getting things done--like passing the librarian a note asking for books instead of saying it out loud, or talking to the dogs at the homeless encampment as a way of meeting their people. When she sees that the mayor and the police are making things harder for the unhoused community, Sara realizes she can be an advocate--through her letters--and that theres more than one way to stand up for what you believe in and make your voice heard.n
