  Flaps is a young peacock butterfly with a challenge – a hole in her right wing. 
  Her father was a Storm Breaker, one of the special butterflies who help keep the planet’s weather balanced by flapping their wings in just the right places. But now, the winds of the world have grown wild and angry because humans have been unkind to nature. To restore balance, Flaps’ father flew to the legendary Cradle of Winds, a place said to hold the key to calming the storms. But he never returned. 
  Years later, a powerful storm nearly sweeps Flaps and her glowing firefly friend, Blinks, away. Realizing something must be done, Flaps decides she will journey to the Cradle of Winds to fix the weather herself, even with her damaged wing. 
  To find her way, Flaps visits Perla, a wise moth who knows the old stories. Perla tells her about an ancient legend: only a butterfly with a pure heart, riding on the back of a condor, can cross the highest mountains, flap its wings in the deepest valleys, and bring peace back to the weather. 
  Determined and brave, Flaps sets off on her quest, unaware that Blinks is secretly following her. Along the way, they meet new friends, overcome challenges, and discover that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference. 
  Can Flaps find the Cradle of Winds and bring calm to the storms? Her courage and heart will guide her through this great adventure!

  "It is November 13, 1909, and the coal miners of Cherry, Illinois, head to work with lunch pails in hand, just like any other day. By seven a.m., 484 of these men are underground, starting jobs that range from taking care of the mules that haul coal to operating cages that raise and lower workers and coal to chiseling out rocks and coal from the tunnels of the mine. With the electrical system broken, they’re guided by kerosene torches—and come early afternoon, a slow-moving disaster begins, barely catching the men’s attention until it’s too late. In what starts as an hour-by-hour account, Sally Walker tells the riveting and horrifying story of the Cherry Mine fire, which trapped hundreds of men underground. Alternating between rescue efforts above and the heroic measures of those trying to survive the poor air and entrapment below, this tragic story unfolds over eight excruciating days in a narrative compelled by the miners’ hope and absolute will to survive."
