Synopsis
While restoring the front of a church, an old plasterer rescues several injured pigeons and nurses them back to health., Working on his final masterpiece--the restoration of a decrepit church façade in Rome--Angelo befriends an injured pigeon. As the building nears completion, he asks the pigeon, "What will become of you? Where will you go? Where will you live?" Resolving to ensure the future of his new friend, Angelo adds a final flourish to the church. Color illustrations accompany the text.

Industry Reviews
"All about accommodation and alternating points of view, this story is a carefully constructed balance of sympathy and silliness."
Kirkus Reviews (03/15/2002)
"Besides the bittersweet story, it is Macaulay's pictures that make this book a standout, from the ingenious feeding contraption that Angelo rigs up for Sylvia to the bird's-eye views of things that Macaulay made his name demystifying for kids: a cathedral, a city, construction."
Washington Post Book World - Elizabeth Ward (06/09/2002)
"This tenderly told and genuinely touching story is a change of literary pace for Macaulay....Unassuming but affecting, this is [a] tale of friendship bound to be popular with a wide audience."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (06/01/2002)
