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.
