Praise for the book:

Healing, hope, and humor can come from the most unexpected places, and the characters in Hugh Willard's new book, A Day of Heroes, proves this for us in a delightful, contemporary story of unusual friendships, bravery, and compassion. With the guidance of his strong, supportive father; Elton Stewart (Buzz) and his rescued friend Roberta (Rob), a vulture, are at the center of people and animals who change their world by overcoming their fears of the unknown and the not necessarily pretty. And when Buzz and Rob are entered in the local Animal Hero's contest, they show us you don't have to come in first place to win. This is a beautifully written book that is truthful to today's families and touches on issues of relationships, divorce, the environment, and handicaps. Hugh tackles all these topics with a wry humor that enchants. A story for children and adults alike, this book will be eagerly sought after in both public and school libraries. Buzz and Rob show us the joys of soaring with vultures even when they can't fly!
