Rooted in fantasy, a pig's dream of flight becomes a reality, celebrated in illustrations that feature small flocks of airborne pigs who are clearly delighted that their long-range, seemingly impossible dreams of flying have come true. The inspiring text works well as a launching pad for this beautiful board book. Written from the viewpoint of a parent singing a song of affirmation, admiration, and love to a baby or toddler, the empowering words provide the narrative, while the buoyant illustrations are sure to enchant dreamers of all ages. \u003cstrong\u003e--Booklist Starred Review \"November 2025\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSandra Boynton\u003c\/strong\u003e is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director.
