Stars and Stripes, two young falcons, are introduced to the life of a bird of prey in a big city. With their parents' guidance, the young birds learn to catch pigeons (and not the "fowl" balls that come from the nearby baseball stadium); how to interact with humans (who are kind enough to feed the local pigeon "livestock"); and finally, how to fly, the final skill that will allow them to leave their concrete home to hunt for food and start their own homes and families. Told with tongue in cheek humor that will keep readers chuckling from cover to cover.

When Antonio first hears the members of the Mariachi band play, he wants nothing more than a guitar of his own. But guitars cost money, explains his father, who hands Antonio a stick instead. He heads off, unknowingly starting a chain of exchanges that may, miraculously, earn him what he wants most. Filled with plenty of Spanish vocabulary for young readers, Papa Gave Me a Stick is a vibrant story about the virtues and rewards of kindness.
