Stellaluna

“Delightful and informative but never didactic; a splendid debut.” —Kirkus Reviews

Knocked from her mother’s safe embrace by an attacking owl, Stellaluna lands headfirst in a bird’s nest. This adorable baby fruit bat’s world is literally turned upside down when she is adopted by the occupants of the nest and adapts to their peculiar bird habits.

For this deluxe edition, color has been added to the ink drawings, and the interior design now allows for more art to be seen. Includes two pages of updated notes about bats and a special note from the author.
