The Wandering Feather

When a gust of wind blows a feather off a flying red—tailed hawk, it marks the beginning of that feather’s quest to find a new home. The feather ends up in a squirrel’s nest, a woman’s hat, and atop a sandcastle—but none of these spots feel right.

Soon, the feather is picked up by a little girl who lovingly takes it home to join two other feathers as part of a special craft project. When the project is complete, the reader discovers that the feather has found its home in a dreamcatcher.

Bright illustrations bring young readers along on this lost feather’s search for purpose, and the heartwarming conclusion weaves in a tribute to an Indigenous cultural object.
