Flight School

Written and Illustrated by Lita Judge

A persevering penguin is determined to fly in this adorably inspiring picture book from the creator of Red Hat and Red Sled.

Although little Penguin has the soul of an eagle, his body wasn’t built to soar. But Penguin has an irrepressible spirit, and he adamantly follows his dreams to flip, flap, fly! Even if he needs a little help with the technical parts, this penguin is ready to live on the wind.

This book and supporting resources are a part of the "Penguin Life Cycle" unit within RIF's Read for Success Early Childhood collection. To learn more about Read for Success, click here.
