An inspiring story about the incredible things that can happen when you give something a try, from award-winning author Catherine Emmett and bestselling illustrator Claire Powell.
Delilah did not often talk of her dream, in case others laughed at how daft it might seem.
For like all those others, this small dodo knew, there never had been any dodos who flew.
Meet Delilah. Sheβs on a mission to be the first dodo to take flight β and she wonβt let what any of the other dodos say stand in her way. This heart-warming story of perseverance, from the Oscarβs Book Prize shortlisted author of The Pet, will strike a chord with anyone whoβs ever dared to dream. Brought to life with fabulous artwork from the illustrator of The Night Before the Night Before Christmas, this empowering story is perfect for fans of Rachel Bright.

About the Author
Catherine Emmett grew up in Newcastle and spent all of her childhood reading books. When she grew up, she spent fourteen years making spreadsheets and not reading any books at all. After advising a group of young girls to find a career that they loved, she decided to take her own advice. She packed up her husband and her three young boys, moved to rural Essex and started to write picture books. She now spends her days surrounded by words, animals and noisy boys. When she needs a bit of peace and quiet, she can be found running (very slowly) across muddy fields. www.catherineemmett.co.uk Claire Powell is a bestselling childrenβs book illustrator working in London. She started out designing for big-hitting television brands before an impromptu visit to a childrenβs book exhibition led her down the path of illustration. Self-taught, Claire got her first book deal in 2016 and has never looked back.Β www.claire-powell.com
