Since when is a kite afraid of heights? Well, this one is! But when he discovers a hot-air balloon, an airplane, and even a rocketship all possess the same fear, he begins to discover that they are not all that different from one another.
This absurd, humorous story is about children understanding that being afraid of something is okay and normal.

The writer says kites like to fly high in the sky, but not this kite. This kite wants to stay on the ground at all times! But when the kite finds out that a hot-air balloon, a rocket ship and a plane don't like to fly high, either, the kite begins to see it's normal to have fears and to talk about them.
