The planet of Windhaven was not originally a home to humans, but it became one following the crash of a colony starship. It is a world of small islands, harsh weather, and monster-infested seas. Communication among the scattered settlements was virtually impossible until the discovery that, thanks to light gravity and a dense atmosphere, humans were able to fly with the aid of metal wings made of bits of the cannibalized spaceship.

It led to one of the bloodiest episodes in Japanese history, and in the process, created a new set of heroes in Japan.

Karl is an Abyssinian ground hornbill with a special challenge. His lower bill had broken off and made eating difficult. Karl did a great job of adapting and finding new ways to eat, but he wasn't getting all the food he needed. His zookeepers at the National Zoo and friends at the Smithsonian Institute wanted to help. Could an old bird skeleton and a 3D printer give Karl a new beak? Karl's new adventure was about to begin!

Delightful story for reading alone or aloud!
A wonderful story of brotherly and fatherly love. Set in 1400s Korea, it was a delightful introduction to Korean history. The language was simple enough for a 3-4th graders to read on their own, but it also adroitly introduced here in there a higher level words.
Narration excellently captured the joy of the story.
