Willie Was Different

Norman Rockwell

Straight from Rockwell's original manuscript-which has never before been published-this is the much-loved American artist's only children's book. Willie, an adorable but misunderstood wood thrush, ventures out on his own and finds fame composing his own thrush cadenzas with the help of his musical friend, Miss Polly.

"Rockwell's color illustrations will warm new generations, while adult admirers will savor the presentation..."
--Publishers Weekly

"...a valuable memento of a quintessentially American talent."
--Palm Beach Post

"...a book adults as well as children should treasure."
--The Boston Book Reviews
