Finding the city a lonely place, Sandra seeks solace at the river which runs through it, where she befriends a pelican. When "Pelly," as she calls the pelican, remains after his flock flies south, Sandra's ingenuity is put to the test as she struggles to keep him alive through the long prairie winter. Pelly combines the story of a pelican's battle to survive a harsh environment with that of a solitary girl who finds strength and friendship through her nurturing of the wild animal.
