He has real wings that allow him to fly. But the other kids at school laugh and tease him. The adults Ikarus meets aren’t much kinder. Ikarus has a friend though. When she steps in and says, “Stop!” and “Your flying is beautiful,” he finds the heart to fly again. You can listen to our story at: http://pesfroghall.org/wings.mp3
