Your host Bonnie Wright takes flight with a group of young Earthlings to explore the wonder of animals with wings. From eagles soaring over mountains to butterflies landing softly on noses, children share their favorite winged creatures and imagine what it might feel like to fly through the sky. Tune in as we dream up magical flying animals (Wolves with wings! Honey-making owls!), and reflect on how we can help real creatures with wings thrive here on Earth.
