Synopsis

When Angelo is restoring an old church in Rome, he finds a small bird, barely breathing. Not being able to find somewhere safe to leave her, he has no choice but to take her home with him. Despite Angelo's 'professional dislike for pigeons', the pair become friends, and Angelo names the bird Sylvia. Eventually, Sylvia is able to repay Angelo's kindness by supporting him when he needs it most.

Media Reviews
Tender and poignant . . . Drawn skilfully and freely in pen and ink, washed with shades of blue and terracotta, the pictures are full of events and details beyond the story, and depict the rooftops, the restaurants and the light of Italy in a way that makes you long to be there. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times *
Macaulay refuses to be confined by the conventions of the picture book. * Booklist *
Unassuming but affecting, this tale of friendship is bound to be popular with a wide audience. * The Bulletin *
The warm, offbeat story of camaraderie and nurturing is told in subtly humorous, succinct text, but it's Macaulay's winning illustrations that steal the show. * Booklist *
These intricate drawings are suffused with soft autumnal colours that perfectly complement the beautiful story. * The New York Times Book Review *
