Long ago, in a small woodland village, two children were born. One was mute, and one was clumsy. Both were shunned for being different. Each found solace in the woods, a more welcoming place where the animals made them feel accepted and special. Then, one day, they found an injured eagle and their lives changed forever. The author of Animal-Speak, Animal-Wise and other books has written a fairy tale that transcends place and time, and reaches out to readers of all ages with its message of inspiration and love.
