Embark on an unforgettable flight with Sophie and Pierre, the inquisitive young African Gray parrots as they navigate the enigmatic Congo Rainforest. Left alone and adrift, their feathers ruffle with more than just the tropical winds—they're on a quest to unravel their family's mysterious disappearance. Along the way they encounter Babu, the ageless, magical tree steeped in lore and bursting with stories yearning to be told. In this mystical world, where branches lead to new dimensions and leaves whisper untold tales; Sophie and Pierre don't just find adventures—they find a path to understanding, healing, and the greatest mystery of all: their own destiny.
Deep within the heart of the African rainforest, a magical old tree stood strong and tall. While weary travelers rested on its branches and above its roots, the tree quietly gathered their stories, wishes, and dreams.
Magical. This book made me miss teaching! The writing was engaging and the illustrations were magical! Can't wait to read more!
A Magical Story! This is such a magical tale that kept my little readers engaged. I loved the story and am excited for the next adventure. I bought extras to give as gifts.
For five years, two orphaned African gray parrots have made their
home in the branches of Babu Nyumbani—a magical ancient tree in the
Congo rainforest that grows doorways to incredible places.
A mysterious invitation and treasure map arrive, bearing symbols neither sibling can read but both somehow recognize.
The map leads to the Celtic lands, when at the festival of Samhain, the veil between worlds is thin and wakes things better left sleeping. There, Sophie and Pierre will meet a scarecrow whose loyalties shift like wind through straw, face shadows that hunt and seek to destroy, and discover a treasure powerful enough to crown kings—or destroy kingdoms.
Finding the treasure is only half the journey. Understanding why it chose them—two orphaned birds from a faraway forest—will change everything they thought they knew. About the treasure. About the realm. And perhaps, about the family they lost.
The magic of Samhain is rising. The shadows are gathering. And two young parrots are about to discover that some questions, once asked, can never be unanswered.
Samhain pronounced [sow-wen]
"A soaring adventure where Celtic myth meets African wonder, and two unforgettable heroes discover that the strongest magic of all is family."
“They were not treasure hunters; they were seekers of truth, driven by a love that transcended time and space. The old forest had many secrets, but Sophie and Pierre were ready to unravel them, one feather, one step, one heartbeat at a time.”
