Léo and the Runaway Kite
Whoosh! Léo’s red kite is gone with the harbor wind—and he’s not sure what to do next.
With Mamie Rose beside him, Léo follows a trail of friendly clues through a lively seaside town. Mara the fishmonger has spotted something fluttering. A line of washing offers a funny false alarm. And from the lighthouse, Léo catches sight of his kite at last. But getting it back safely will take one more important step: asking a neighbor for help.
Clara Wynn’s gentle picture book turns a breezy kite chase into a reassuring story about speaking up, accepting help, and solving problems together. Repeating phrases and playful sounds invite young listeners to join the search, while the harbor setting offers plenty to notice along the way.
