Yakari 1 - Yakari and Great Eagle

Yakari meets his friend Great Eagle in his dreams. His wish of seeing him 'for real' will come true the day that he manages to be like him. So Yakari tries to fly, but in vain. It is with Little Thunder that Yakari discovers his formidable talent: he can talk to the animals. The storyline is message-driven and teaches children about tolerance, friendship and respect for the environment. Beautiful full colour illustrations complement simple, easy-to-read texts to make reading appealing to children of all reading levels, and especially to reluctant readers.
