_Late one moonless night in a far corner of the world there gathered a large
flock of birds. They gathered in sorrow, since they had been, for so very
long, deprived of a king._
Thus begins the magical adventure of these wayfaring birds. With encouragement
from their wise guide, the hoopoe bird, they overcome fears, physical
handicaps, and their own inner weakness in order to reach the heights of the
mountain to meet their King.
Children and adults alike will relate to this inspiring tale about conquering
one's faults and practicing the virtues of humility, patience, detachment from
worldly goods, and courage.
Lavishly illustrated and based on an 800 year old classical tale, this
fascinating and beautiful book will delight children and provide parents with
a wonderful tool for teaching children about moral development.
Ages 6 and up.
