The life of storks is full of challenges, migrations, and discoveries.
In this first installment of the Celi and Or series, you’ll discover the tender story of how these two traveling storks met for the first time, after happily returning home from a long migratory journey across other continents.
Amid graceful flights and a unique aerial dance—so typical of storks—Celi and Or fall in love and, with affection and teamwork, begin building their first nest. Day by day, they fill it with twigs, feathers, and care, dreaming of the arrival of their first family.
The story culminates in a magical moment: the first eggs resting safely in the nest, and hope beating in both their hearts as they await the hatching of their chicks.
With sweet language and plenty of fun facts about the real life of storks, this illustrated story is perfect for children aged 3 to 7, to be read together as a family or in the classroom.
In the upcoming books of the collection, you’ll discover how Celi and Or care for their chicks and, later on, how they embark together on the great adventure of migration to warmer lands when autumn arrives.
