The Magical Journey of Bob Crane is a story about the annual migration of Sandhill Cranes that fly through Washington State in early March.

Bob, the main character is one of six thousand cranes that stop for three days to rest in Othello, WA. The residents in the small city of Othello hold an annual crane festival each year to celebrate the arrival of the cranes. Bob is a member of the B.B.A. better known as the Best Bird Academy. His mission is to entertain the visitors coming to Othello and find a way to thank the birds that live in the wetland for sharing their habitat.

Each night before Bob falls asleep, he looks up to a wishing star and asks how he can make a difference in the lives of the birds. After dinner, Bob falls asleep. Barry, a fairy-wren pays a visit and wakes Bob up. The little bird tells Bob, he is his fairy god-bird and grants him three wishes. Bob comes up with an idea that will help all the birds living in the wetland.
