Official synopsis Publisher
Cuando crees en ti mismo, ¡el cielo es el límite! Una nueva historia de Cori Doerrfeld sobre la confianza y la superación de uno mismo.
Álex construye un avión de papel y está emocionado por hacerlo volar. Pero antes del despegue, un águila le dice que su avión es demasiado pequeño. Y un loro insiste en que debería ser más bonito. Y un halcón le aconseja que debería ser más rápido.
Álex hace todos los ajustes. Pero cuando despega, el avión choca con el suelo y su confianza se ve mermada. Todo cambia cuando un simpático pingüino lo insta a volver a confiar en su avión y en sí mismo.
Con un texto maravilloso y unas ilustraciones irresistibles, Echa a volar invita a los más pequeños a reflexionar sobre el poder de la amistad, a creer en uno mismo y en no dejarse influenciar por las opiniones de los demás.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Rabbit Listened, a story of learning to stay true to yourself, rather than what others want you to be.
Riley made a paper airplane and couldn’t wait to let it soar. But just before the plane could take off–SQUAWK. An eagle swoops in and insists Riley’s plane could never fly. It’s much too small. So Riley makes it bigger! But just as this bigger paper airplane is ready to go, a parrot squawks that the plane is way too boring to fly. So Riley makes it fancier! Bird after bird offers advice, and Riley tries making the airplane faster longer, taller, and slimmer.
When the plane crashes to the ground after all these changes, Riley finally meets a more supportive friend . . . and rediscovers the joy and wonder of soaring.
