Kella and the Sky Dances

By M. M. Elmendorf Hopson and Joanne Lee

Kella dreams of joining her family and friends in the magical sky dances over Lake Maracaibo.

But this dream is threatened by her own bad habits of inconsistency, forcing Kella to face her fears and overcome them.

As the young Verdantmaw embarks on a solitary journey through the mysterious jungle to Angel Falls, where she must fly through the waterfall's healing mist, she meets new friends and challenges old traditions. These experiences give Kella the courage to persevere and help her overcome her fears.

Kella's story of determination and friendship, set in the misty jungle of South America, is a timeless classic that will captivate and inspire readers of all ages.

With influences from E. B. White, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Astrid Lindgren, and A. A. Milne, this story will take you on a journey of courage and self-discovery.

If you enjoyed classic tales such as The Little Princess, Charlotte's Web, Pippi Longstocking, and The Little Prince, you'll love Kella's story of overcoming bad habits and learning to fly with courage.
