WINGED HEROES FOR ALL BIRDKIND GN
(W) Mya Thompson (A) Virginia Green
Birds have real superpowers! Peregrine Falcons have super-speed and can fly up to 242 miles per hour as the fastest animal on earth. Hummingbirds have super-stability and can hover in place and fly backwards like a helicopter. Snowy Owls have super-hearing and can find animals buried under snow by listening. But does an under-confident pigeon have any powers? This is the story of Emilio, an ordinary kid who just happens to be a pigeon. When life gets him down, he looks to his favorite comic book heroes for answers - The Winged Heroes. No matter what, they always find a way to save birdkind with their amazing superpowers and daring missions. So why can't he score even a small crust of bread at the park?
