By Amanda Addison, Manuela Adreani (Illustrator)
A bird and a girl journey across the world seeking a place to belong.
Leila, a young girl fleeing northern Africa, and a tiny swallow on a migratory quest, both traverse the globe in search of safety and belonging. Their paths cross unexpectedly, sparking a journey that explores the essence of home and the power of chance encounters. As they navigate their parallel migrations, will they find the sanctuary they seek? This poignant tale invites readers to reflect on themes of migration, friendship, and the universal quest for a place to call home.
Nobody knew, nobody dreamed, nobody even considered the possibility that a bird that fits in your hand might fly halfway around the world looking for a place to nest . . . or that a young girl from northern Africa might flee halfway around the world looking for safety. This is the story of Bird. This is the story of Leila. This is the story of a chance encounter and a long journey home.
