Flying Jacob

Flying Jacob

There are children who are a bit different than the others – Jacob is one of them. He can fly! Philip Waechter tells of an amazing adventure, a rescue mission and a celebration among birds. A new magical picture book done in Waechter’s unforgettable style.

Time to leave for summer vacation. Jacob accompanies his parents to the airport, where they board their plane – and he flies off on his own to the south. On the way, he joins 142 birds who are on their way to Africa. When one of the little birds has trouble (his name is Johann), Jakob has an incredible idea how to save him from the bird catcher. Birds are namely clever and stick together. After their mission is accomplished, he continues on his way to join his parents, who are already waiting on the beach!
