What is The Dodo Who Dreamed She Could Fly about?

Delilah the dodo has a dream that no dodo has ever achieved: she wants to fly. Worried that the other birds will laugh, she keeps her wish secret. But Delilah refuses to give up. She studies flying, experiments with new ideas and tries again and again, even when things go wrong. With encouragement from her dad and determination in her heart, Delilah discovers that daring to try can lead to wonderful surprises.
