In this quiet story about perseverance and progress, a pig loves to watch birds fly and dreams of joining them. He ponders, experiments, "modifies," and succeeds in building a flying machine. "The world wanted to join him," and soon the sky is filled with lots of machines. As far as he flies, however, the pig still admires birds. Na's dreamy mixed-media illustrations match the contemplative text.
