Lenny and Gwen

This is the story of Lenny and Gwen, a pair of dragonflies starting out on a most exciting adventure. They are migrating to Mexico for the winter with thousands of other dragonflies.

This is most amazing for creatures who start out in the lakes and the seas. Like Gabriel and Idris, Lenny and Gwen begin life in a larval state, but these flying wizards live up to two years underwater before becoming the dragonflies that we know.
