Question: does anyone know the author/title of the childrens' book about the janitor-man and the birds?
My, is that ever an interesting question! It's not one of those old-old classics from times before I was young, but I think it came out when I was on the far end of my childhood. I'd say it's around ten years old, or so. Sorry I'm being vague with this question--all I have in my head are some vague ideas of what some of the pictures were myself. But it was a colourfully and beautifully illustrated book about a man and a lot of colourful birds coming into his life, and I think they took him to an island...and maybe he began to turn into a bird himsellf...I just don't remember very well.

And as for relating this to the icon-world, I would love it if people made icons about this book...! And once I learn the author and title and get more information, I may make some myself...
Meanwhile, it's really been niggling me...! Put some thought and research into it, if you would please, and let me know.
