Guthli is everyone's favorite - a happy child who likes to draw fairies, swing, and cycle. But then one day she is told not to wear her sister's frilly frock that she loves, but her "own" boy's clothes. And things erupt. "Why do you keep saying I'm a boy when I'm a girl?" she asks her mother. In that simple question lies all the bewilderment that children like Guthli feel, who don't seem to others what they know they are. The gentle story about gender identity tells it like it is, reality echoed in the flatness of the vibrant cutout illustrations.

Throughout history, aviation has been a field filled with adventure and romance, daredevils and heroes, great challenges and big dreams. "If We Had Wings" captures the essence of man's ongoing fascination with flight, from early Renaissance scientists who imagined fanciful flying machines through the technological breakthroughs that launched humans into space. The passion to fly and the corresponding advances in aviation have always changed our world irrevocably, and "If We Had Wings" offers both the tragedies and the triumphs of the continued attempts to reach even higher. These compelling stories are enhanced by removable documents -- ranging from diary pages of a World War I airman to letters that Amelia Earhart wrote to her parents in the event of her death. These will all make the material come to life like never before.

John is a young man who is different from others - he was born with wings. For years, he enthusiastically made the best of this gift, guided by his most faithful companion - his own heart. He flied freely around the world, exploring horizons that others didn't even dream to exist.However, one autumn night an unusual sadness invades his heart. For the first time in his life the bird-boy fears loneliness. In a moment when he wonders whether being different will mean living alone forever, the sight of another young man in a cosy house in front of his tree inspires him. John realises that this young man is, in fact, just as alone as he is. From then on, he begins a very different journey, far above the heavens that were already so familiar to him. He joins the flight of a friendship for life.Together, the two boys discover that as far as the qualities of human beings are concerned, sharing and acceptance grow in ways which have no limits. In the magic equation of love, the result is always much greater than the simple sum of the parts.
