Yakari, a brave young boy, dreams of meeting Great Eagle in reality. His attempts to fly fail, but he uncovers a unique gift: the ability to communicate with animals. With his horse, Little Thunder, Yakari embarks on adventures that teach him about friendship, tolerance, and respect for nature. Will his newfound talent help him fulfill his dream and connect with Great Eagle? Dive into a world where dreams and reality intertwine, and every creature has a story to tell.
From the publisher
Yakari meets his friend Great Eagle in his dreams. His wish of seeing him ‘for real’ will come true the day that he manages to be like him. So Yakari tries to fly, but in vain. It is with Little Thunder that Yakari discovers his formidable talent: he can talk to the animals. The storyline is message-driven and teaches children about tolerance, friendship and respect for the environment. Beautiful full colour illustrations complement simple, easy-to-read texts to make reading appealing to children of all reading levels, and especially to reluctant readers.
