About This Item
New York: Atheneum. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1980. First American Edition. Cloth. In this Caldecott Honor book, a small boy named Billy wants nothing more than to catch a sandcatcher. He spends hours in his backyard, watching the bird fly and dive, but never manages to catch it. One day, Billy's neighbor brings him over a dead sandcatcher, and Billy finally understands what he needs to do. He starts by watching the bird from a distance, and then gradually moves closer and closer until he's able to capture it. Billy's story is a reminder that even if we don't always get what we want, we can still find happiness in the simplest things.; 8vo; $7.00 .
