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.
