Piper is a little plane who dreams of flying higher than anyone. When sick people in a faraway mountain village need medicine, she says, “I’ll go!” and flies off into cold wind and a big, booming storm. Will she remember the advice of her old friend Baron and make it all the way there?
Down in a green valley, with tall mountains all around, there was a little town called Wingdale. Everybody in Wingdale could fly! Big planes and small planes lived there. There were red ones and yellow ones, fast ones and slow ones. And zipping in and out of them all was a little plane named Piper.
Piper was small, but she dreamed of flying higher than anyone. Every day she practiced. She looped the loop. She dove down, down, down—and swooped back up. Her best friend, an old biplane named Baron, cheered her on. He showed her how to turn smooth and slow. He told her how he once flew over oceans and deserts when he was young.
One sunny morning, a call came to the airfield. The people in a faraway village, high up in the mountains, were sick. They needed medicine, and fast! But getting there was hard. Other planes had tried. The wind pushed them back. Clouds hid the way. The mountains were tall and sharp, with narrow canyons in between. Everyone at the airfield looked worried.
“I’ll go!” said Piper. “I can do it. I’ve practiced so much!” Baron nodded slowly, but his eyes looked worried. “It will be cold up there, and windy. There may be a storm. I’m a little scared for you, Piper. But I know you’re brave. Remember this: wings steady, eyes ahead.”
The medicine was tied on tight, and Piper took off. Up she went, into a clear blue sky. She flew over fields and over forests. Far ahead, the mountains rose up. The closer she flew, the faster Piper’s heart thumped.
