Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration with their own limitations or feels that a big goal is out of reach because of who they are. While many stories focus on immediate success, this narrative honors the long journey of a dreamer who spends a lifetime pursuing a vision. It is a beautiful tool for validating the quiet, persistent effort required to follow an unconventional path. The story follows a pig with an engineering spirit who refuses to believe that pigs cannot fly. Through Il Sung Na's signature textured illustrations, we see the passage of time as the pig grows, experiments, and eventually finds his own way into the sky. It is a gentle, sophisticated reflection on resilience and the joy of the process, making it an ideal choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate the space between imagination and reality.
