Bookroo's summary
Zora, a spirited dog, dreams of soaring through the sky to catch the elusive squirrel in her yard. Despite her friend Tully, a doubtful cat, insisting it's impossible, Zora's determination never wavers. As she embarks on her whimsical quest, Zora discovers that the right motivation might just make the impossible possible. Will she prove Tully wrong and achieve her dream? This heartwarming tale of perseverance and optimism invites readers to believe in the power of dreams, no matter how high they may seem.
From the publisher
Meet Zora: a dog with a big dream and an even bigger personality. All Zora wants to do is learn how to fly so she can catch that pesky squirrel in her yard. But try as she might to prove to her friend Tully–a skeptical cat–that dogs truly can fly, nothing seems to work. Until Zora finds the right motivation, that is. Kathy Stinson’s charming story of perseverance is beautifully brought to life by Brandon James Scott’s exuberant and wonderfully expressive illustration. Touching on themes of optimism and determination in the face of failure, The Dog Who Wanted to Fly is a book anyone–even a cat–will love.
