The wandering feather

Frenette, Lisa,


When a gust of wind blows a feather off a flying red-tailed hawk, it marks the beginning of that feather's quest to find a new home. The feather ends up in a squirrel's nest, a woman's hat, and atop a sandcastle--but none of these spots feel right. Soon, it's picked up by a little girl who lovingly takes it home to join two other feathers as part of a special craft project. When the project is complete, the reader discovers that the feather has found its home in a dreamcatcher. At the end of the book, we see the dreamcatcher swinging in the breeze in the window of the girl's bedroom. The story includes an author's note about dreamcatchers and what they symbolize to many Indigenous peoples.
