A bilingual Arabic–English story about a turtle that dreams of flying. The story encourages self-acceptance, contentment and understanding that everyone has a role and strengths of their own.
About this book
A turtle dreams of flying and learns that its own strengths matter more than wishing to be a bird. Read it in Arabic, English or both, then play “what can you do?”: your child names something a turtle can do that a bird cannot, and something they are good at themselves.
