by Wendy Lee

Published 1 June 2008

A humorous and touching set of three illustrated, linked stories about a young boy who faces up to his fear of flying.

When Mum and Dad want to go on holiday, Leon doesn t want to go to any of the places they suggest. When his family are invited to visit his new baby cousin in Spain, Leon doesn t want to go there either. Aeroplanes are so big and loud -- and how do they stay in the air? But when baby Jorge comes to stay, he doesn t mind flying one bit -- and he s only one! Leon realises that at six and three quarters, it s time to spread his wings.
