Little Blue James E. Carpenter

"Little Blue" is a children's book in rhyme about a little blue airplane who demonstrates that there is absolutely no correlation between his diminutive size and all that he can accomplish. For reasons he does not understand, Little Blue is imprisoned by chains at a rural airport and is persecuted by larger airplanes on a daily basis. The airport is alive with the excitement of the upcoming air show, but the day before the big show, a devastating event occurs, and in a bizarre twist of events, Little Blue is freed from his chains and becomes a hero after the catastrophe, not just for his actions, but for his demeanor and attitude as well. The message conveyed by this book is one of perseverance, kindness, love, sharing, forgiveness, and the reality that it just doesn't matter what size you are! Both, the storyline, and the illustrations of this book work in concert to perpetuate GIGGLING BOOK'S motto of providing "Noble values for young minds."
