Alberto dreams of humans flying. When he leaves Brazil to study in Paris, France, he finds the opportunity to design a balloon to fly around the Eiffel Tower and back to the Aero Club in less than thirty minutes. He designs not one balloon, but six balloons before he experiences success.
Alberto's story reinforces the importance of perseverance, optimism, problem solving and work ethic.
Inspiring!
The author and illustrators are brothers. They bring to life this endearing man through the excellent narration and illustrations.
*Highly recommend.
