Reach for this book when your child feels misunderstood or when they share an experience that others dismiss as impossible. It is a gentle balm for the child who marches to the beat of their own drum and feels the sting of peer skepticism. The story follows Sid, a dog who discovers he can fly, only to be told by his classmates and teacher that dogs simply do not do that. Through whimsical verse and vibrant illustrations, the book explores the tension between inner magic and outward logic. It validates the idea that we all have secret talents or 'flying' moments that others might not see. This is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students to reinforce self-confidence and the importance of holding onto one's sense of wonder, even when the world is skeptical.
