Soar along on a clever girl’s flight of fancy in a whimsical ode to free spirits, inventiveness, and flying pigs.Zephyr is a girl who loves airplanes. She draws pictures of them, makes them out of paper, builds them out of junk, and hopes one day to fly one of her own. But when Gramma, Daddy, and Mom are too busy to play airplane with her, Zephyr’s excess enthusiasm gets her sent to her room — where she discovers a secret door that leads to the most wondrous place she’s ever seen! Lovers of flying machines and gadgets, along with adventurers of all kinds, will be buoyed by this lighthearted tale of a little girl who finds her wings.

The illustrations created with fountain pens and colored pencils are absolutely stunning in this book. There are so many pictures to look at, with an opportunity to create a great conversation with young people or older people too. GREAT quality work Steve Light!

Wonderful book. Used in my kinder classroom and did airplane project afterwards...my students really enjoyed the story and beautiful illustrations

My 2.5 year old loves this story and talks about Zephyr all the time! Great story for little girls that's not too "girly."

My kid loves it, it is the best.The drawings are great.All Steves work is nice and thoughtful.Buy it.

PaPa liked it being a former pilot and liking to make noises to illustrate the pictures. A fun book for me to read. My Grandson enjoyed me and the book.

Great story- I love that the mom is fixing a chair & the dads cooking dinner! Awesome illustrations & a charming story my sons really enjoyed!
