Description
When The Storks Came Home is a charming, fictionalised retelling of the successful white stork reintroduction at the Knepp Estate. The white stork is a UK native bird which was last year brought back from extinction.
In this second picture book from bestselling author and globally significant conservationist Isabella Tree, we meet eight-year-old Beanie, who loves birds. When she discovers that huge white storks used to live in her own village but were hunted to extinction in the UK 600 years ago, she is determined to find a way to bring them back.
But reintroducing a vanished species is not so simple! Storks can fly hundreds of miles, so releasing storks into the local countryside won't be enough to make them return and stay for good. With the help of other villagers, Beanie hatches a plan…
Beautiful illustrations help bring this powerful and important story to life, teaching children about conservation and their environment in an accessible way.

This is the story about a young girl named Beanie who loves animals especially birds. When she has a new baby brother, they receive lots of flowers and cards. On one card, she sees white storks. She becomes fascinated with them and asks her friend Andy about them. He tells that they have unfortunately disappeared from Britain and their population is decreasing. Beanie becomes passionate in saving these storks and she, along with her town, does everything they could to save them.
The fact that this is inspired from real events makes this book even better. The artwork is STUNNING! And I think this book is a must read for young children because they need to learn about wildlife and conservation from a very young age so that they'll be able to contribute in regards to conservation of nature when they grow up.
Absolutely loved this book. I'd highly recommend this one.
