High in the Altai Mountains, a boy and his eagle shared a bond as boundless as the sky. They chase the rainbows, speak to the clouds, and discover the courage it takes to say goodbye. A luminous tale of wonder and love, bringing strength and solace to anyone facing loss. 

Siyuan Aw (Author & Illustrator)

Siyuan Aw was born in Singapore and has lived and worked in Shanghai and London. For many years, he guided creative work at agencies such as BBH Shanghai, Ogilvy London, and DDB Singapore — shaping stories, listening for meaning amid noise.  Alongside this professional journey runs a quieter current: a devotion to art, meditation, and nature. His paintings, exhibited in Shanghai and Singapore, explore the stillness that exists between light and breath — the space where thought dissolves into being.  His debut picture book, Oneness With Your Wings, emerged from a solitary journey across Mongolia, where he met Bekku and his eagle. It is a meditation on release and renewal — on the strength it takes to let go, and the freedom that follows.
