Illustrated by
Amy Huntington.
After Sam's siblings say he's too young to fly their kites, Sam dons a too-large white shirt that lifts him into the sky. He flies with the seagulls high above the coastal environs and feels empowered rather than left out. The children's facial expressions are stiff, but the beach landscapes capture Sam's adventure with the promise of more to come.
