“Will you fly 400 miles to pick up an injured crow?” Bella asked Gracie and Lucy. “His name is Oli Kai.” Meet Oli Kai, a real-life crow who lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He has only one eye and one wing, and shows Bella that every living being has a purpose and is beautiful in their own way. Fly with Gracie and Lucy as they venture out into the wide open skies to bring Oli Kai to his new home in Tennessee. This story teaches children about purpose, patience (with both others and themselves), and adventure!
This is a book dedicated to the readers! Keep exploring, stay curious, and create a special memory while finding adventures everywhere – and always remember that every living creature has a purpose.
All proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center, the home of Oli Kai, and an environmental learning hub that reconnects Chattanoogans with nature.
