From the award-winning team behind Ida, Always and This Way,
Charlie comes an uplifting story of animal friendship, inspired by a
real-life pair of storks whose bond overcame great distance
Best friends Malena and Klepetan always adventure together! The two
excitedly prepare to fly thousands of miles for the flock's annual
migration to a warm winter. But when Malena is injured, she stays in
Croatia while Klepetan goes to South Africa--and the pair must navigate
the turbulent winds of separation for the first time.
Being apart is hard. Malena and Klepetan miss each other achingly, and
they have big feelings about adventuring on their own. But even over the
vast distance, the two brave explorers discover ways to enjoy their
separate seasons while keeping their hearts connected--and their hopes
aloft that spring will bring them back together.
