This funny, inspiring tale of a pig determined to fly is "both whimsical and thought-provoking" ( School Library Journal).

Once, there was a pig who admired birds. But he could never join them. Or could he?

Thus begins the journey of a pig with big dreams, and the perseverance to make them come true. He develops flight plans, builds experimental contraptions, and has far-flung adventures, but at the end of the day, his favorite thing to do is still to sit and watch for those he loves best: the birds. Il Sung Na creates a world at once whimsical and aspirational, where anything is possible and, yes, even pigs can learn to fly.
