They are unsure of what to do, however they receive help from a roadside flower lady that offered some magic dust. You will not believe what happens next.

Stellaluna is a baby bat that is separated from her mother when they are attacked by an owl. Surprisingly, she finds herself in a bird’s nest and starts believing she is a bird herself. She doesn’t hang upside down or eats fruit. She stays in her nest all day and then sleeps in the night just like the other birds do. One day she was unexpectedly reunited with her mother and family. Both her bird and bat family come together and prove that their differences do not matter.
