The Little Pilot
by Stavros Zafeiriou/Frida Kritikou
Description
A YOUNG PRINCE in a country with no airplanes, who dreams of becoming a pilot. A pilot who teaches young princes how to fly with their dreams. A king who forbids his subjects from dreaming. A dragon who scorches wash hung out to dry. A mischievous snow elf who likes to hang out with plump snowmen. A small whale that sings its freedom. These are just some of the characters in this captivating tale. And if all goes well in our story, our protagonist will learn that a whole elephant in a boa’s stomach is not the same thing as a boa that has swallowed an elephant whole.
But will things go well?
