Bird Dream

Human flight is one of the last great challenges on Earth. Not like how the Wright brothers flew, but how we fly in our dreams. This is the goal of the Wingsuit Landing Project: to soar through the sky at speeds up to one hundred miles per hour and to land without the aid of a parachute. This project is the creation of 37-year-old Jeb Corliss, Jr., a Southern Californian who seeks to emulate a mode of flight more like a flying squirrel than bird or plane.

Gentle prose and soothing imagery make this story a perfect bedtime companion, calming young minds and inspiring hearts.

The Bird That Dreamt in Colours is not a story to rush through; it is a story to settle into.
