Unflappable cover

A witty and uplifting story about perseverance and hope, perfect for fans of The Magical Yet, starring three endearing flightless birds determined to get aloft. 

Three flightless friends long to feel the wind beneath their wings. So, they try, and try, and try to fly. But all they do is fall, fall, fall. Flying, it turns out, is hard.

Will they give up—or get up? Celebrating resiliency, persistence, and the power of “yet,” easy-to-read text and distinctive artwork by award-winning and bestselling illustrator Scott Magoon encourage and inspire readers young and old who aspire to learn a new skill or to make a dream come true. 

"Young readers will cheer for this very simply told tale about perseverance, the steadfast pursuit of dreams, and having an unflagging belief in oneself. These are characters kids will want to emulate as theyattempt to spread their own independent wings or try to conquer hurdles they didn’t believe they could. This high-flying charmer rises to the top.” — Kirkus Reviews “Delightful. At the core, this is a book about the power of “yet.” These characters truly are unflappable, showing the importance of action in chasing a dream. In their quest, the birds experiment and endure with immediate and inspiring optimism.” — School Library Journal
