The Little Book, Jody Bill is a story about a young penguin that wants to fly south for the winter just like all the other birds do. As hard as Jody tries to fly, he just can't get off the ground. He asks this question, "Why can't I fly? I have wings and feathers just like all the other birds." Jody then seeks the wisdom of his mother.
