Boundless Sky
From the Series Lantana Global Picture Books
A migrating swallow and a migrant girl cross paths while looking for a place to call home.
A bird so small that it fits in your hand flies halfway around the world looking for a place to nest, while a young girl from northern Africa flees halfway around the world looking for safety. This is the story of Bird. This is the story of Leila. This is the story of a chance encounter and a long journey home.
