When Your Heart Seeks the Sky

Book Description

In this charming fable, a young chicken, Dodo, wonders why his friends always make fun of him. They laugh
at his sharp beak and long feathers. They tease him mercilessly.

Then one day, Dodo sees an eagle soaring in the skies above him. If only I could be like that eagle, he
thinks. If only I could fly over mountains and oceans, free as the air. Then his mother tells Dodo a secret
about his life and everything changes forever.

When Your Heart Seeks the Sky is the story of a journey from the edges of endurance to the summits of
joy. It reminds us all that we can only reach the stars by shooting for the heavens, and that dreams are
what makes life worth living.


When Your Heart Seeks the Sky by Wang Jian, begins as follows:

Chapter 1



It was a rainy summer afternoon. Seven-year-old Dodo left school with his chicken classmates after the rain
stopped. The great land in the Western Forest was brighter and clearer after the shower. Uncle Sun smiled
happily in the sky. Water droplets glistened like diamonds on the green grass and the body of locusts. The
air was full of the sweet scent of flowers and grass, and all the chickens ran and laughed, happy to breathe
the fresh air after a boring day in school.

“Hey, buddy! Let’s play the locust-catching game, OK?” Bipa suggested to his friends. All the chickens
stopped singing and turned to look at Bipa.

“Yay!” The chickens jumped for joy because they were about to take their afternoon tea, and locusts would
be a delicious treat. It would also be fun just to play the game.

“But we have to follow the rules this time,” Bipa added.

The last time they played, many of their classmates broke the rules and nobody was crowned the winner.

“Okay. What are the rules? Hurry, hurry, hurry!” The chickens couldn't wait another minute, they were so
excited. Their mouths watered at the idea of having tasty locusts with their tea.

“Let me think a minute.” Bipa blinked, mulling it over. “The chicken who gets the first locust will win the
game. How does that sound?”

“No, no, no,” cried the other chickens. “That won’t work.”

“But why?” Bipa didn’t understand why his wonderful suggestion was being rejected.

“Because, Bipa,” said Dodo, “who will know if someone catches the first locust if the locust is already
eaten?”

“Ah yes, you’re right.” Bipa looked thoughtful. “Do you have a better idea?”

All the chickens lowered their heads in thought. But they couldn’t think of anything better than Bipa's
suggestion.

Then Dodo raised his head. “I have an idea,” he said, rubbing his sharp beak against his long feathers.
Feathers that were so much longer than the other chickens’.

“Quick, tell us,” said Bipa, his own short wings beating anxiously. “I’m hungry.”

“OK,” replied Dodo. “We could eat a few of the locusts we catch, but wait and save the rest of them to
count. Who ever catches ten locusts first wins the game.”
