Santiago has always known that Adrián has a big heart, and his steadfast friendship is also the reason Adrián has a chance to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eillustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.6\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3\u003cbr\u003e\nDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\u003cbr\u003e\nIdentify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3\u003cbr\u003e\nDescribe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-06-10T17:26:46-04:00","created_at":"2021-06-09T12:19:56-04:00","vendor":"Groundwood Books Ltd","type":"","tags":["age range 3 - 6","By (author) Buitrago Jairo","CC Literature - Grade 1","CC Literature - Kindergarten","CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3","CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4","CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3","CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3","CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.6","CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7","Childrens Starred Reviews","Diversity","Groundwood Books","Illustrated by Yockteng Rafael","Picture Books","pub date: 2021-09-01","Stories of Resilience","Translated by Amado Elisa"],"price":1699,"price_min":1699,"price_max":1999,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39462786007099,"title":"EPUB, fixed","option1":"EPUB, fixed","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781773064574","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Wounded Falcons - EPUB, fixed","public_title":"EPUB, fixed","options":["EPUB, fixed"],"price":1699,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"9781773064574","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}},{"id":39462790365243,"title":"hardcover jacket","option1":"hardcover jacket","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781773064567","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Wounded Falcons - hardcover jacket","public_title":"hardcover jacket","options":["hardcover jacket"],"price":1999,"weight":493,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781773064567","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}},{"id":39462791774267,"title":"Kindle, Fixed Layout","option1":"Kindle, Fixed Layout","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781773064581","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Wounded Falcons - Kindle, Fixed Layout","public_title":"Kindle, Fixed Layout","options":["Kindle, Fixed Layout"],"price":1699,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"9781773064581","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/houseofanansi.pro\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_28920f89-aed3-437d-b9f2-e3736a62e870.jpg?v=1728182370","\/\/houseofanansi.pro\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_235fe885-37cf-4b1f-94f8-c03bf6ab7847.jpg?v=1633504405","\/\/houseofanansi.pro\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_471bd1f3-8228-428a-b238-622ba6017d12.jpg?v=1633504405","\/\/houseofanansi.pro\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_25c99bda-6391-463e-a173-f8abf28bae39.jpg?v=1633504405"],"featured_image":"\/\/houseofanansi.pro\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_28920f89-aed3-437d-b9f2-e3736a62e870.jpg?v=1728182370","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Cover: “Wounded Falcons.

Santiago has always known that Adrián has a big heart, and his steadfast friendship is also the reason Adrián has a chance to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eillustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.6\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3\u003cbr\u003e\nDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\u003cbr\u003e\nIdentify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3\u003cbr\u003e\nDescribe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781773064581","Imprint":"Groundwood Books","KeyTextFeatures":"illustrations","MetaKeywords":"translation","OtherText_Accolades_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for author Jairo Buitrago, illustrator Rafael Yockteng and \u003cem\u003eWounded Falcons\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSBBY Outstanding International Books, 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommended \u003c\/strong\u003eJunior Library Guild Selection, 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"A powerfully, even divinely told slice of life.\" — \u003cem \u003eKirkus\u003c\/em\u003e, starred review \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"A moving meditation on the transformative power of friendships in all different forms.\" — \u003cem \u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e, starred review \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eWounded Falcons\u003c\/em\u003e provides a window into two young lives in a situation that will be unfamiliar to many Canadian children, with a hint at the end of the story that better things may be to come.\" — \u003cem\u003eCM: Canadian Review of Materials\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem \u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003eA testament to the strength that comes from caring for another, be they bird or beast.\" — \u003cem\u003eA Fuse #8 Production\u003c\/em\u003e Blog\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBuitrago and Yockteng are highly acclaimed picture-book creators with an award winning and best-selling backlist that includes \u003cem\u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTwo White Rabbits\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWalk with Me\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe duo’s books consistently earn many starred reviews. \u003cem\u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e received six.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a story about the power of friendship and love that will appeal to those who loved \u003cem\u003eLion and Mouse\u003c\/em\u003e also by Buitrago and Yockteng.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Long_description_1":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBuitrago and Yockteng are highly acclaimed picture-book creators with an award winning and best-selling backlist that includes \u003cem\u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTwo White Rabbits\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWalk with Me\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe duo’s books consistently earn many starred reviews. \u003cem\u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e received six.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a story about the power of friendship and love that will appeal to those who loved \u003cem\u003eLion and Mouse\u003c\/em\u003e also by Buitrago and Yockteng.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Quote_from_review_0":"\u003cp\u003eA powerfully, even divinely told slice of life.
