Long ago on the sun-drenched island of Crete, the greatest inventor in all of Greece built something no human had ever dared to imagine - wings of feathers and wax, strong enough to carry a man into the sky.
He built them for a dream. And he built them for his son.
Icarus and the Golden Wings takes young readers on an unforgettable journey into the heart of Greek mythology. A father and son share a golden afternoon on the cliffs of Crete, dreaming of flight and marvelling at the birds soaring above the sea. But as their adventure unfolds, they must face the delicate balance between ambition and wisdom - and learn the profound truth that even the deepest love cannot always protect us from ourselves.
Beautifully illustrated with the warmth of classic fairy tales and the emotional depth of timeless art, this picture book explores the themes every family knows by heart:
- A father's love that reaches beyond the sky
- A son's courage that refuses to stay on the ground
- The wisdom that comes from truly listening
- The bittersweet truth of growing up and growing bold
Crafted for children aged 1 to 17 - and for every adult who still remembers what it felt like to dream without limits - Icarus and the Golden Wings is a story that will live in your heart long after the last page is turned.
Because the greatest lessons are found not in reaching the sky - but in knowing how to come home.
Book 1 of The Journey & Discovery of Mythology series by eK71.
