(North-South / Night Sky Books, Feb. 1, 2003)
A flying penguin? Impossible but true in this comic fantasy about the power of self-confidence. Filbert the penguin is blissfully flying along until a jealous seagull reminds him that penguins can't fly. Then, his self-esteem destroyed, Filbert plummets to the ground! A kindly seal comforts Filbert, reminding him of all his other talents, "You can do anything you want to, if you just set your mind to it," she assures him, and then offers Filbert surprising proof of the wisdom of her words.
