Translated by Mara Lethem.
Lucas longs to fly with wings until his mother offers him a book, saying, "there are other ways to fly." This well-intentioned ode to imagination is fairly unimaginative itself; Lucas only understands her meaning after obsessively reading (and sitting upon) a lofty tower of books. But readers will likely enjoy this Spanish import's illustrations of Lucas atop his bookish mountain.
