內容簡介
內容簡介 乘風飛翔男孩Javier和爸爸出海捕魚,有一隻信天翁誤觸尖銳的漁網勾子,奄奄一息。Javier瞞著爸爸,小心翼翼地用帆布包著它,將它帶回家,細心地擦藥、餵食,讓她睡在溫暖的窩。漸漸的,信天翁傷勢好轉,恢復了健康,但是卻沒有任何想展翅飛翔的跡象。如果她不張開雙翅,要如何回家呢?Javier有點擔心,於是,他把信天翁帶到海邊,用獨輪車載著信天翁,進行一場飛往家的乘風飛翔訓練。A heartfelt story from the author of King of the Sky and The Promise, with an important point to make about male mental-health.Javier has a secret. On one of his father's fishing-trips, he finds an albatross caught on the hooks – alive, if only barely. Against his father's orders, Javier smuggles the bird to safety and begins nursing it back to health. Every day the albatross accepts a little more food, but she shows no sign of wanting to use her wings. And if Javier's new friend refuses to fly, how will she ever find her way home? With words by award-winning author Nicola Davies and dramatic watercolours by Salvatore Rubbino, this is a beautiful story about the power of empathy.
