The Winged One

Princess Penelope finds her way into an Inner Kingdom inside the earth where she discovers that all the beautiful things in the Outer World-color, good smells and tastes, dance, the rhythm of the seasons, the laws of the Universe like gravity, the ability to dream, and even the ability to heal-are all ruled by Elementals (fairy creatures) who initiate beauty, harmony, and grace in the Outer World. Her brother, Kam, is tricked into going into the Inner Kingdom with a magical gun that can actually destroy the elementals, convinced that he is the prophesized "Wing One," a child of royal birth with magical powers. Penny has the ability to talk to animals and also these elementals. She goes into this Inner Kingdom to repair the damage her brother is heaping on the spirits because as he destroys the elementals, the Outer World starts to collapse. Through her journey she discovers that she has the powers within her to help every creature she meets on her pathway. Through her journey of learning about compassion, courage, intuitive communication, selfless generosity, unconditional love, and true friendship, she finds her own strength and in the process restores both the Inner and Outer worlds to a new level of beauty and harmony. The Winged One is, in short, a spiritual manual to help children find true meaning in life and discover their interconnectedness with Nature and how they can contribute to the world.
