I feel as though I should describe this book in a hush, it is that beautiful. I was particularly moved by the characterization of the protagonist, a young girl who believes she can fly, who lives in the midst of a practical and busy world. Its weakness is primarily an ending that falls a little flat, but it is an excellent choice for a nature/ animal lover, as well as a child with a fanciful personality who can handle a little suspension of disbelief.
