The Big Wind is the sweet story of a pigeon family separated during a bad storm and their quest to be reunited. When the babies are taken to a wildlife rehabilitation center, their rescuers are taught about the needs of the young birds and how they can best help them.

Can the babies get back to Mom and Dad and become a family again? Find out in The Big Wind, written by author Trish Bruno and illustrated by Rhonda Van. The book is perfect for ages 7 and up, and a delightful read for classroom and humane education work, too.
