Papa, why can’t I fly? a boy asks his father. His father’s simple answer leads to another question, and then another, until the father playfully demonstrates to his son all the things the child can do. In the end the boy discovers that with a little imagination and some help from his dad he can fly—even without wings!
Author-illustrator Kevin Luthardt’s highly expressive, comical full-color illustrations and simply worded text captures the special bond of love between father and son. Readers will enjoy the playful fun and easy-going relationship depicted in this delightful story.
