Laura Goering, author ~ Whistling Wings October 25, 2008

Whistling Wings is about Marcel, a young tundra swan, tired from the first half of a winter migration. One thousand miles is a long way to fly—too long for Marcel, so he hides in the rushes to stay behind while his parents and the flock continue south. But with the lake nearly frozen over, he soon realizes that he is not cut out for life on ice.
