Springtime Storks: A Migration Love Story

 

Carol Joy Munro's Springtime Storks: A Migration Love Story tells the story of two storks, Luka and Katerina, who are flying with a flock of storks when Katerina is struck by a bullet. She falls from the sky to the ground. A grandfather and a child run towards the stork. The bullet wasn't meant to hit the stork, but rather another bird in the air. Katerina is carried into their home and treated for her injuries. In the middle of the night, Luka and the other storks gazed into the window to see if Katerina was alright. She cannot continue on with the migration with the rest of the birds and remains in human care. She is well taken care of by them. As spring approaches, they help her build a nest atop their house. In hopes that Luka will come back and find her, Katerina sits in a nest. She spies a stork in the distance one day and it turns out to be Luka. That season, Katerina gives birth to five baby storks. Although she is too injured to join Luka and the rest of the storks on their migration, Luka always returns for her every year.
