It’s a beautiful tale about facing fears, growing at your own pace, and discovering the confidence that was inside you all along.
What I love most about this picture book is the way it captures emotions so simply and honestly. Walter’s fear of flying feels so real. He isn’t just nervous, he’s absolutely terrified.
Catty Flores has done an incredible job bringing the story to life. The colors are rich, the landscape is breathtaking, and the condors themselves have so much personality.

Carried by Wings by Tuula Pere beautifully encapsulates this experience, capturing the fear, anxiety, hope, and excitement of stepping out on your own for the first time.
And what's really special about this book is how compassionate, encouraging, and understanding Walter's condor parents are. Yes, they try to get him to fly and progress in life, but they also want the best for him and respect his mental health.
We also appreciated the illustrations by Catty Flores, who has been a frequent winner in our contests alongside Pere!

Walter and Arthur are inspiring characters with different journeys that highlight themes of courage, self-esteem, and the importance of support from loved ones. Stepping out of your comfort zone can be daunting, but it often leads to unexpected adventures and newfound confidence.
The colorful illustrations beautifully complement the narrative, transporting readers to the mountains where the condors live.
Carried by Wings is a must-read for anyone looking to find the courage to embrace change and embark on new adventures in life.
