Description
This funny, inspiring tale of a pig determined to fly is "both whimsical and thought-provoking" (
School Library Journal).
Once, there was a pig who admired birds. But he could never join them. Or could he?
Thus begins the journey of a pig with big dreams, and the perseverance to make them come true. He develops flight plans, builds experimental contraptions, and has far-flung adventures, but at the end of the day, his favorite thing to do is still to sit and watch for those he loves best: the birds. Il Sung Na creates a world at once whimsical and aspirational, where anything is possible and, yes, even pigs can learn to fly.
"Sure to engage young readers who've got dreams of their own." - Kirkus Reviews
"Success requires quiet judgment and hard work. Young aeronauts-and pigs-take note." - Publishers Weekly
