Richard, a sparrow adopted by a stork family, is wintering at the Great Lake in Northern Africa. When he realises that he won’t be the one to lead his flock back North, Richard decides to travel on his own and crosses paths with Samia and her sparrow flock, who are being held captive by evil marabous under the control of greedy peacock Zamano. The only chance of freedom for the sparrows is to solve a riddle and find the Great Jewel, which will call upon teamwork, trust and most of all- spork (sparrow + stork) skills.

In A Stork's Journey, an imaginative stork named Richard believes he is a sparrow until he embarks on a journey to Africa to find his true family. Along the way, he faces competition, jealousy, and disguises himself as a sparrow to fit in. With the help of his friends, including a parakeet and an owl, Richard discovers the importance of friendship and the true meaning of family.
