The Mouse Who Wanted to Fly

In a busy New York City airport, a tiny mouse named Clara lives under the seats where passengers wait for their flights. She steals crumbs from the floor and watches as people rush around the airport. Over time, Clara starts to wonder what it would be like to get on a plane and fly. Humans can fly on planes, so why not Clara the mouse?

The day comes when Clara decides that she's going to face her fears and take a trip on a plane at last. She packs a little suitcase and heads out to embark on an incredible adventure. As she walks out onto the airport floor, she feels jittery butterflies in her stomach. How could a tiny mouse find her way in such a busy airport? With the help of a sweet woman, Clara finds her way onto a plane and rises into the sky.

Through Clara's quest for flight, young readers will be encouraged to believe in themselves and embrace the power of possibility. Children 3 to 6 and their parents or caregivers will adore reading about the courageous Clara. Complete with delightful color illustrations, The Mouse Who Wanted to Fly makes an excellent bedtime story.
