Flight School

Why It's On Our Shelf

This book doesn't change the reality that penguins can't fly like birds, but it redefines success so the penguin achieves his goal in a way that works for him. That's a better message than pretending limitations don't exist - it's about finding creative solutions rather than accepting defeat. The charming illustrations show the penguin's determination and the support from other birds. What makes this work is that it teaches kids to look for alternative routes when one path is blocked, and it shows that achieving goals often requires help and different perspectives.
