Separated by migration, two storks must find a way to keep their bond alive across continents.
Malena and Klepetan, two inseparable storks, face their first separation when Malena is injured and can't join the migration to South Africa. As Klepetan flies thousands of miles away, they both struggle with the loneliness of adventuring alone. Despite the vast distance, they find creative ways to stay connected, holding onto the hope that spring will reunite them. Can their friendship withstand the challenges of being apart, or will the winds of change alter their bond forever?
From author Caron Levis and artist Charles Santoso, the award-winning team behind Ida, Always and This Way, Charlie, comes Feathers Together, an uplifting picture book 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.
