The Quiet Bird on the Sill

His neighbor's mysterious daily ritual becomes an obsession. He must know her secret. But what if the kindest act is not to solve the mystery, but to respect it?
Eva Suluk October 1, 2025

Published by the Arts Incubator Winnipeg, The Quiet Bird on the Sill invites you into the quiet world of eight-year-old Carl, who discovers that some mysteries are best understood with a gentle heart. Every morning, Carl watches his elderly neighbor, Mrs. Robinson, as she carefully places a carved wooden bird on her windowsill, retrieving it again at dusk. While other children on Elm Street mock her silent ritual, Carl senses a deeper, unspoken story, stirring a gentle curiosity within him.

Through Carl’s observant eyes, readers embark on a thoughtful journey about the power of empathy, the importance of respecting others’ quiet moments, and the profound dignity found in routines that defy easy explanation. This poignant tale gently reminds us that true kindness often means embracing what we don’t fully understand, and that some of the most meaningful lessons are learned in silence.

Perfect for young hearts and minds, The Quiet Bird on the Sill is a beautiful exploration of compassion, understanding, and the quiet dignity of every individual.

The program is dedicated to fostering arts-focused skill development and digital literacy among participants. By supporting the creation and distribution of stories, it equips individuals with the tools needed to articulate their experiences and contribute to the cultural landscape.
