A warm-hearted story with an important moral

Enhanced with illustrations by Rolf Siegenthaler, Filbert Flies is a fabulous children's picture book by Karl Ruhmann about a penguin who wishes he could fly. He obsesses so much about what he can't do that it makes him miserable - until a friendly seal reminds him of what he can do, such as slide and ice skate and swim, talents that other flying birds can't hope to match. A warm-hearted story with an important moral about remembering one's strengths, Filbert Flies would make a popular and appreciated addition to any school or community library picture book collection.
