Up and downMy friend wants to fly (up and down)
Boys and penguins are inseparable good friends. They like to do everything together. But penguin has always had a dream in his heart: he wants to be a penguin that can fly. In order to help his little friend realize his dream, the little boy helped Penguin think of many ways, but the book said that penguins cant fly. The disappointed little penguin found that the circus was recruiting artillery actors and felt that he could fly to heaven. Excited little penguin went to the circus alone... Did his dream come true?
In this engaging sequel to the picture book, Lost and Found, by internationally bestselling author/illustrator Oliver Jeffers, we re-visit the boy and the penguin after their trip to the South Pole…
The boy and the penguin still enjoy spending all their time together… That is, until the penguin starts to dream of flying, ignoring the boy’s advice that it is impossible.
Running away, the penguin visits place after place, searching for a chance to get his feet off the ground. But will flying be everything he had hoped? And is the boy missing him as much as he is missing the boy?
