Why can’t penguins fly? They have wings! Do you think they ever try? Do you think they even know they’re birds?
Singer-Songwriter, Educator, and Author, Steven Ray Miller, looked for answers when his own children told him, “I wish penguins could fly!” Instead of an answer he found a story and a song that we think you and your young readers will cherish.
This beautiful story not only ponders the penguin, it also questions us, and things we could perhaps do if we tried. Is there something you are scared to try? We don’t have wings, but we have hands, and our words. Could we use them to help someone? This is a story that you can enjoy with your reader over and over, finding beautiful questions and new meanings every time.
