Description:

Bear has always gazed up enviously at his best pal Little Bird, swooping and soaring through the sky, and longed to fly. Little Bird, meanwhile, can't help wishing he were tall and strong like Bear. So the two friends strike a deal: each will teach the other how to fulfil his impossible dream. Bear piles Little Bird's plate high with hearty meals and rigs up the tiniest set of barbells imaginable, but Little Bird stays stubbornly little. And no matter how earnestly Bear flaps his arms, he doesn't budge an inch off the ground. Just when their bargain seems doomed, a sprouting pumpkin seed and a kite-string spark two wonderfully clever ideas that change everything. With his gentle storytelling and warm, glowing illustrations, Frank Asch turns a sweet tale about friendship into a quiet lesson on imagination, patience, and the inventive ways dreams can come true.
