Two lonely souls find each other in this unusual tale of friendship and belonging from award-winning comic writer Cary Fagan. In her North American debut, illustrator Banafsheh Erfanian brings ornate artistry to the cage and birds that inhabit this surprisingly human story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA long-empty birdcage takes a chance and leaves behind its attic home to find a bird to keep. Out in the world, the cage encounters many birds and offers shelter to each of them. One by one, they refuse, explaining why they belong elsewhere. The cage feels lonelier than ever - until the cage in search of a bird finds a bird in search of a cage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on an aphorism by Franz Kafka, Fagan's original story will make readers laugh at its absurdity and ponder its meaning long after they finish reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Groundwood Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554988617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 8.70w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2017 pg. 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2017 pg. 77\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2017 pg. 35 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cary Fagan, Banafsheh Erfanian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38471272235189,"sku":"9781554988617","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_01b0dc10-2b50-452e-ad6c-b5262b3f6b51.jpg?v=1612929065","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-cage-went-in-search-of-a-bird-9781554988617","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
