Tully and the Flight of the Whispering Wind
What if the thing you were most afraid of was the only thing that could take you where you needed to go?
Tully is a small bird who prefers the lower branches. The ground feels close there. The sky stays manageable. He has built a careful life in the cedar trees of the Whispering Forest, and he has no plans to change it.
Then a storm snaps his branch and hurls him into the night.
Carried beyond the forest by his spirited friend Lark and guided by the ancient wisdom of Elder Rowan at the Northern Cliffs, Tully discovers something that changes everything: the wind is not trying to destroy him. It has been trying to teach him. The sky does not ask a creature to be fearless before it enters. It only asks that it listens.
This is a story about fear that doesn't disappear, courage that doesn't look the way you expect, and the discovery that home and wonder were never meant to be enemies.
Tully and the Flight of the Whispering Winds is Book 3 in the Whispering Forest Stories series by Gil Edwards, fully illustrated with sixteen original paintings and written for every child who has ever stayed safely low when something inside them was quietly asking to fly.
Perfect for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, or any young reader learning that the sky gets less frightening once you stop fighting it.
The branch broke. The wind caught him. And nothing was ever quite the same.
