A courageous girl follows her dream of learning to fly in this beautifully illustrated story inspired by formerly imprisoned human rights activist Loujain AlHathloul, perfect for Malala' s Magic Pencil fans. Loujain watches her beloved baba attach his feather wings and fly each morning, but her own dreams of flying face a big obstacle- only boys, not girls, are allowed to fly in her country. Yet despite the taunts of her classmates, she is determined to do it-especially because Loujain loves colors, and only by flying can she see the color-filled field of sunflowers her baba has told her about. Eventually, he agrees to teach her, and Loujain' s impossible dream becomes reality-and soon other girls dare to learn to fly. Based on the experiences of co-author Lina AlHathloul' s sister, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Loujain AlHathloul, who led the successful campaign to lift Saudi Arabia' s ban on women driving, this moving and gorgeously illustrated story reminds us to strive for the changes we want to see-and to never take for granted women' s and girls' freedoms.
