Summary:
In a world of climate change and environmental challenges, two sisters, Anna and Emma and their companions, the California Condors, stand out as a beacon of hope. Their father, Chris Parish is the director of the Condor Project for the Peregrine Fund at Vermillion Cliffs. Their mother, Ellen Parish is a teacher and leader for the organization Roots and Shoots, founded b y Jane Goodall. Together, the family work together to save and reintroduce the Californian condors back in to the wild. Learning of and from the condors, as well as their parents, Anna and Emma's lives are unique in their growing understanding that if we do not take care of the life surrounding us, we will in the end face the possibility of our own extinction. The California Condors have shown us the very beauty of life itself. As long as they soar the sky, there will always be a hope for the future.
