It was later republished by Funk \u0026amp; Wagnalls as a book, but this edition is based on Rockwell's original concept, complete with the color and monotone paintings he created for the story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Willie is a wood thrush--but a very different kind of wood thrush. Driven by his intimation that he possesses a special genius, Willie leaves his avian fellows to take up singing with the exquisitely down-to-earth Miss Polly, flautist extraordinaire. Together they find fame, and they eventually travel to the nation's capitol so Willie's beautiful singing can be appreciated all the more. Yet all the attention and bustle of city life distress Willie and make him stop singing, so Miss Polly brings Willie back to his native woods, where he resumes his tranquil life and music-making with her. But the world remembers and reveres Willie and the genius of his song.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Share Willie's timeless story with the children in your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 10.32 x 8.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 17, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52640240828723,"sku":"9780936399614","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bjV6aHQrUXluMUlybTlnV0NRdkNPUT09.webp?v=1762365219","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/willie-was-different-a-childrens-story-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
