That Is Too High to Fly!: (Afraid of Heights) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798886161373)

Jackson the blue jay has never flown high. When Jackson was younger, an accident left him injured and scared. Jackson is afraid of heights and has never learned the full capability of his wings. Percy the possum is observant and friendly. Percy tries to be friendly with everyone, even when that person does not look exactly like him. Percy wants to help everyone he can and learn from them as well.

Overcoming and looking past physical differences, both Jackson and Percy learn friendship is open to anyone who shares the same values and is not limited to the way a person looks. By learning to open one's heart to the idea of friends who do not look like oneself, one's ability to learn and grow increases.

Asking for help does not mean one is weak. As a matter of fact, strong people know when they are overwhelmed and when they need that help.

Jackson feels embarrassed about his fear, but with the help of an unlikely friend, maybe he can overcome both.
