The Mystery of the Swallows’ Eggs

In the old windmill in Grandma’s orchard, a family of swallows has built a nest. Everything seems peaceful until Uncle Agustín discovers that one of the eggs has disappeared without a trace.

Tom, a curious and observant eight-year-old boy, decides to solve the mystery. After several days of patient watching, he discovers the culprit: a crow searching for food.

But the real lesson is only beginning.

Uncle Agustín and Tom must find a way to protect the nest without hurting the crow, learning that caring for nature does not mean fighting against it, but understanding it and finding respectful solutions.
