Angelo by David Macaulay
4.0
It's David Macaulay, so you know to look carefully, study all the pictures for those lovely details he's famous for.
On the surface, this is the story of a man, Angelo, who cleans and restores church facades, stuccoing and restoring. He finds an injured pigeon and his life takes a turn...he nurses the bird, takes her to work with him (she is at home in the belfries of the churches), feeds her..and names her! We know their relationship is permanent when that happens.
We watch Angelo find a relationship in his life that is as important as his mission to restore churches.
A warm story of missions and friendships and what we leave behind.
