Overview
When a young boy's homemade kite breaks free and flies away, he fears it may be gone forever. After an extraordinary journey, the stray kite ends up in just the right place. Ultimately, he finds something far more valuable than what he lost.
Description

Author Megan Aho once watched a kite fly away across the fields. She always wondered where it ended up.

Vivian Aho's gentle illustrations are inspired by rural life on Prince Edward Island. Her whimsical style will delight children.  Very young children will enjoy finding the little crow "hidden" on each page of the story. 

Included in this book are instructions for a paper kite that is both easy to build and a reliable flier.

This story is ideal for children ages 3-8.
