About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling clumsy, different, or like they can't do anything right. Loopy is a young airplane who feels like a failure because he can only fly in loopy-loops instead of straight lines. During a thrilling airshow rescue, he discovers his unique way of flying is a special talent, not a mistake. This classic story from 1941 gently teaches resilience and self-acceptance, showing children that their quirks can be their greatest strengths. It's a perfect confidence-booster for kids aged 5 to 8 who are struggling with perfectionism or comparing themselves to others.
