Design and Features
Tico and the Golden Wings is illustrated by Leo Lionni and comes in a large format hardback or paperback.
It is best suited to an audience of 3, 4 and 5 year olds.
Performance and Drawbacks
Tico has no wings and he dreams of a life with golden wings. What happens when his wish comes true?
Originally published in 1964 Tico and the Golden Wings’ message of giving and belonging is as relevant as ever. The story is simple, enjoyable and delivers its message without being over-moralistic.
Your child will learn something different from the story at different ages and they will enjoy it for years.
Stunningly illustrated, Tico has been re-published with shimmering golden printed wings.
Conclusion
All good libraries should include a copy of Tico and the Golden Wings. Availability is limited; search for it online.
