Zora wants to
fly, mostly to get after the squirrel that is always making fun of her. Her cat
friend Tully doesn’t think that dogs can fly. Zora looks at the flying things
in the world around her for inspiration and keeps trying. When Tully the cat
needs her help, can Zora find the confidence to fly?
This is a cute
story, but I couldn’t help but think of ‘Today I will Fly’ by Mo Willems the
entire time, and comparing them, Mo Willems winning out completely. The artwork is really
dated looking and unappealing, with a shadowed cast in almost all of the
images.
