Item Description

In a warm and sultry forest far, far away, there once lived a mother fruit bat and her new baby....

Adapted from the popular bookStellaluna by Jannell Cannon, this is the enchanting story of a baby fruit bat who falls into a bird's nest. Poor Stellaluna tries to adjust her home but finds herself the odd one out, hanging by her feet and disgusted by those bugs Mother Bird brings home for dinner. What a relief to discover she is a bat! Featuring music by Portland's gamelan orchestra - Vernerable Showers of Beauty.
