Description
A Teachers' Pick for ages 4 to 7! In this whimsical tale about a pragmatic wolf and an imaginative sheep, we learn that even the impossible can be made possible through friendship and perseverance. The sheep in this story is a dreamer, while her friend the wolf has a more practical disposition. One day the sheep runs to the wolf with an idea. She wants to build a flying machine! But the wolf tells her it's impossible. Eventually, however, the sheep's dream gets the better of the wolf's doubts, and they begin to work on the project together. Through perseverance and the process of trial and error, the sheep and wolf manage to create a winning design, brought to life by architecturally and mathematically inspired paper collage art. At the end of this whimsical tale, even the wolf has to admit that anything is possible!

"...promotes the concepts of teamwork and perseverance."
School Library Journal, August 1, 2013 "Trevisan pictures their collaboration in spare, editorial-style collaged images on crisp white space..."

Booklist Review, August 1, 2013 "This book interestingly captures and combines a modern spirit with a very old-world style."
Christian Library Journal, October/November 2013 "This is the story of a sheep who, from the top of her hill, watched the birds fly and thought to herself: 'How lucky they are! They can choose how they look at things: from far away, from up close, or from somewhere in between.'"
