Reach for this book when your child is in the midst of a stubborn power struggle or is finding it impossible to share credit during a joint project. This story captures the hilarious and high stakes tension that arises when two people with very different styles are forced to cooperate in a confined space. Based on the true story of the first cross-Channel balloon flight in 1785, it follows an English doctor and a French pilot who spend more time bickering than navigating. While the historical setting provides a fascinating backdrop of early aviation, the heart of the book is a masterclass in conflict resolution and the necessity of teamwork. Through stylized illustrations and witty dialogue, children see that even when we don't like someone or agree with their methods, we must find common ground to reach a shared goal. It is an excellent choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating sibling rivalry or learning to compromise in the classroom.
