Editorial Reviews

12/01/2018
Toddler-PreS–A simple picture book about grit and the realization that we are all uniquely wonderful in our own way. I Can Fly is the story of a little penguin who could. At the beginning of the story, little penguin wants nothing more than to take to the sky, but is told repetitively (even by his father) that he can't fly. Not one to take no for an answer, little penguin tries, and tries harder with no results. Finally, and by accident, little penguin slips into the sea where he and his father glide through the ocean with ease. Little penguin realizes that swimming is just like flying, if not better! VERDICT With beautiful, cool blue illustrations and simple text, this book is a welcome addition to any library; great for lapsits or storytimes with a "never give up" theme.—Jasmine L.
