Kalak's Journey

Winner of the 2018 Moonbeam Children's Book Award, this beautiful picture book tells the story of a group of storks forced to search for a new home.

A family suffers the consequences of dwindling resources and has no choice but to leave their land and embark on a journey full of dangers.

Young Kalak, sheltered by his family, must face a challenging journey sometimes without understanding what's happening, other times barely finding the strength to go on.

The stunning monochromatic illustrations are deeply moving, skillfully using light and shadow to convey the story's profound message.

This book offers a glimpse into the harsh reality of migration through a child's eyes, reminding us of the importance of tolerance, empathy, and solidarity in nurturing hope for second chances.
