Beloved American artist Norman Rockwell wrote and illustrated just one children's book, and now it's on the Dragonfly list! In a touching tale, believed to be autobiographical, an awkward young wood thrush leaves home in search of his own genius and discovers his talent for musical improvisation. But when his beautiful singing is put on display, Willie falls silent--until an old friend comes to his rescue, that is.
