Miguel's got his sights set on owning his own airplane - a pretty wild dream, but he's determined to make it happen. To fund his ambition, he crafts and sells handmade dream catchers, hoping to not only fill his "Plane Jar" but also help others catch their own dreams. Miguel shows that with hard work and determination, dreams can take flight, and that helping others achieve theirs is just as important as achieving your own.

I thought Verdad’s book was really cute. I didn’t love the illustrations but they’re okay. It had a cute storyline and plot!

The characters are Indigenous Mexican
