Charlie's Special Friends
 Young
children often make friendships that last a lifetime. Even when circumstances
take them away to different places, they still hold those bonds deep in their
hearts. In this delightful adventure about departing friends, Charlie and Katie
learn that friendships can last forever.
As they discover
the change of seasons, Charlie and Katie also sadly learn many of their animal
and creature friends have left with the summer sun. As autumn fills the air,
they realize that the ospreys, the butterflies, the hummingbirds and the sea
turtles have gone away. Filled with wonder about where their friends went and
why, Charlie and Katie seek the answers from their wisest friend, an owl named
Joe.
Joe's knowledge takes them on travels through Mexico, the
Caribbean, Central America and the Azores Islands. They marvel at the wondrous
abilities of their special friends to fly and swim such great distances. And
all the while, they are reminded that one day their friends will
return.
Uniquely intertwined in this charming tale of friendship is the
explanation of seasonal animal migration. Through this lovely and interesting
story, children are taught that there is a time for all seasons.
At the
end of the story there is a place for children to write about their own special
friendships. Here they can capture memories of all the wonderful times they
have shared with their own treasured friends. |
