In Stellaluna, she finds her bat family again in this way:
- One night, after growing up with the birds, Stellaluna meets a group of bats who tell her that hanging by her thumbs (upside down) is normal for bats—something she hasn't been able to do with the birds. These bats help her understand her true nature.
- Her real mother then arrives, drawn by Stellaluna’s scent or voice, and recognizes Stellaluna as her lost baby. She reunites with her.
