About the Book
Ducks are supposed to like flying. After all, it’s a natural thing for them to do. But Wilber the duck is terrified of flying too high. As his mother tries to help him, Wilber flies with his eyes closed. He is just too frightened to look down. Even after he promises his mother he will try to fly higher—and with his eyes open—no amount of coaxing convinces Wilber to take wing with his duckling friends. But one day when a sly red fox tries to grab his mother and take her away, Wilber must decide whether he can soar high into the big blue sky and save the day or let that nasty fox have his way. In this children’s tale, a young duck who is scared to fly high must summon the courage to overcome his fear in order to rescue his mother from a hungry fox.
