Mouton's Impossible Dream — Anik Scannell McGrory

The year is 1783. On a cozy French farm, there lives a sheep with an impossible dream: She wants to fly. Mouton's friend Canard the duck is sympathetic, but Cocorico the rooster insists that, without wings, Mouton will never take off. Still, Mouton is full of hope and determination -- perhaps just enough to make her impossible dream come true.• Based on the true story of the world's first "passengered" hot-air balloon flight • Features an inventive heroine and a variety of fun-loving farm animals • Embraces the universal theme of following one's dreams and triumphing against all odds
