The encounter was providential for both of them. \u003cbr\u003eB and Chester spent hours together playing games like bottle-cap fetch or hide-and-seek. They learned \"words\" in each other's vocabularies. B developed a fetish for nostrils and a dislike of the color yellow. He grew anxious if Chester came home late from work. At bedtime he would rub his sleepy eyes on Chester's thumb and settle to sleep in his palm. Chester ended up turning part of his house into an aviary and adjusting his social life to meet B's demands. This was a small price to pay, though, for the trust and comfort of a twenty-five-gram friend who brought joy and wonder back into his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Chester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400033853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400033850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.26w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 44","brand":"Chris Chester","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075667751167,"sku":"9781400033850","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20450465-6c7e-4140-9bd3-61d868823c2a.jpg?v=1685460758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/providence-of-a-sparrow-chris-chester-9781400033850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
