The Two Tales of a Kite

“My old kite is really all yours now, Seth. You’re able to handle it by yourself and bring it down in a strong wind. You’ve learned to fix it when it needs mended and change the colored bows when they’re worn. You even send it messages of your own. So fly it this year, and then decide if you want a new one next summer. You need to know, Seth, it is a very special kite. I’m sure you will find that out for yourself one of these days.”

 

Seth isn’t quite sure what his dad means about his old kite being very special, but he is about to find out as his family enjoys their beach vacation.

Seth’s kite has two beautiful tails, but it also has two wonderful tales. A young girl named Annie is also visiting the beach with her family as they heal from the loss of her dad. Seth and Annie have never met, but the kite draws their stories together until they finally become entangled, much like the tails of the kite.


Whether we are children or adults, God has a miraculous way of bringing others into our lives at just the right moment. Gary Henry blends Seth’s and Annie’s tales in a very unique and heartwarming way as he shares a story of family and fun, and of giving and healing. After enjoying this book you will undoubtedly want to “go fly a kite and send it a message of your own.”
