Many moons and suns ago, a baby cradled in a gentle creature's beak floats downward from the stars onto a cottage doorstep. As a sleepy man and wife open the door and stumble over the basket, they lift the blanket and can hardly believe their eyes. With a gurgle of delight, the tiny baby holds out star-like hands. As the childless couple drops to their knees, they read a note pinned to the basket that tells them to guard her well, for she is Sazani Ayan, beloved child of the Ishtari. Brought by ancient thunderbirds to impartially record the lives of Mother Earth's hidden creatures, Sazani is given a mentor and the name Wind Walker. But nothing prepares her for the determined creatures she soon encounters that include a teasing rock spirit and his shape-shifting mother; a lisping baby dragon; dancing Neldons; quarreling tree spirits; a dour whale; and a clairvoyant Yeti. Suzani must put any hesitations aside, for it is now her mission to help the creatures bring strong messages for humankind. In this delightful fantasy tale, as Wind Walker and a new friend discover their special gifts, they must summon help from Earth's magical creatures in order to overcome painful obstacles and grow into their true destinies.
