Synopsis

In a sequel to The Gift-Giver, Doris reluctantly starts helping Yellow Bird, the class clown, with his reading problem. To her surprise, Doris finds that in caring for and helping Bird, she develops a new friend. "Smoothly written and easy to read; the language with touches of colloquial black English, has strength and vitality . . . the story is particularly valuable for its emphasis on friendship, generosity of spirit, and seeing what's below the surface." -- Kirkus Reviews
