A very wistful penguin looks longingly at the Arctic sky, wishing that — since he has wings, he could fly like a proper bird. Penguin games are all very well, on ice and in water, swimming, follow-the-leader, high-jumping, sliding and skidding—but to fly, that was what Paddy really wanted. A helicopter is the instrument of fulfillment to Paddy and his young companions as the whole community of baby penguins go for a joy ride high above the ice. Paul Galdone whose animal stories and drawings have won him a considerable reputation catches the humor of the penguin without sacrificing accuracy in his treatment of the aquatic bird.

Nov 7, 2013 · Bird was kind of like the sun, giving off the energy we drew from him,” Max Roach said of the alto saxophonist Charlie Parker.
“Bird was kind of like the sun, giving off the energy we drew from him,” Max Roach said of the alto saxophonist Charlie Parker. The sun set early for Parker, who died at thirty-four of pneumonia on March 12, 1955. He was a world-class musician, but he was also a world-class addict. His body was so haggard that the doctor who examined him estimated his age at fifty-three.

20. THE IMPOSSIBLE BIRD - Kirkus Reviews
Missing: Paddy | Show results with:Paddy
From the weird, witty 1997 fantasy The Gift, O’Leary switches back to convoluted science fiction to write about a pair of brothers who, as the story opens, are both dead. But perhaps not: In Detroit, literature professor Daniel Glynn stumbles through a fog of grief over his lost wife Julie. Their son Sean, who suffers dreadful nightmares, resembles Daniel’s brother Michael, a hard-driving director of TV ads. Mike dwells in a fog of his own in a hotel room in Los Angeles; following the recent shoot in the Amazon rain forest, he remembers watching helplessly as his stepdaughter died, but little else—until he’s abducted by three mysterious toughs, “crossovers,” who clearly think he’s Daniel. But a second bunch of equally mysterious agents, “correctors,” attacks their car; Mike shoots the last survivor and escapes, only to be apprehended by agent Kyo Takahashi, who asks Mike about his bird (he doesn’t have one) and is impressed that Mike killed one of his captors. Takahashi, a double agent, visits Daniel, asks about birds, and tells him to find Mike, after kidnapping Sean to ensure Daniel’s cooperation. As incident follows incident, the brothers will eventually meet during a shootout at the stronghold of their old teacher, Joel Klinder, a masterful hypnotist, and ponder bizarre explanations involving alien abduction, multiple realities, entropy, and, believe it or not, hummingbirds.
