The King of the Sky

Work:: The King of the Sky (S01348106547)

A Magical Tale with music for anyone over the age of 6 years. A tale about an Italian boy who comes to live in a Welsh mining village, where his parents fleeing from Mussolini's Italy move to start a new life introducing pizza, ice cream and coffee to a welsh mining town. The boy feels lost and alone as his parents struggle to make their cafe a success. The cooing of Mr Evan's champion racing pigeons reminds him of a sunlit Roman piazza and draws him into an unlikely friendship with the old man and helps him to start feeling at home living in Wales. Together, they pin their dreams on a race across Europe and the special bird they hope can win it, 'The King of the Sky'. But what will happen when the bird is sent across Europe to race back to the valleys town from Rome? Will the boy's fragile sense of belonging unravel or will everyone find a new sort of freedom in the cloudy skies above the hills.
