Synopsis
Another classic picture book by the legendary Colin Thompson, reissued by popular demand
Sally is just a baby when she first begins to soar above her house and over the garden. Soon she sees her brother and other children floating over the rooftops. Only her grandmother believes her and every night Sally returns from another journey with a special present for the old lady. Sally's grandma recalls her own travels from when she was a little girl and explains that everyone has the power to fly, "Only they've forgotten how. It's called growing up." But Sally never forgets how to fly and when she has children of her own, she flies with them. With intricately detailed illustrations and moving text, this story takes the reader on a journey they will never forget.
