Touching story with a good lesson

My son and I enjoyed this book tremendously. He has read it on his own quite a few times but the effect is so different when we read it together. The story is touching and at one point, I could see my son winced in pain (the part when the hawk was shot). He felt really sorry for it and was so delighted to know that it is alive and well again. Great story, good lessons within.
