When The Storks Came Home is a charming, fictionalized retelling of
the successful reintroduction of the white stork at the Knepp Estate, a
UK native bird that has been brought back from extinction.
In this second picture book from best-selling author and globally
significant conservationist Isabella Tree, we meet eight-year-old
Beanie, who loves birds. When she discovers that huge white storks
used to live in her own village but were hunted to extinction in the
UK 600 years ago, she is determined to find a way to bring them
back.
But reintroducing a vanished species is not so simple! Storks can fly
hundreds of miles, so releasing storks into the local countryside won't
be enough to make them return and stay for good. With the help of
other villagers, Beanie hatches a plan...
Beautiful illustrations help bring this powerful and important
story to life, teaching children about conservation and their
environment in an accessible way.
