I am going to dedicate this book to my little brother Porter. He is always kind and when I started writing this book I always thought of what he would have liked.

There once was a hippo named Hugo.  He loved to fly on the airplane when his dad was flying it. He always loved asking what this button was called and that button. His dad always smiled and said, " When you are older."

Hugo was always told by his dad to follow his dreams. Hugo always did what his dad told him to do so he followed his dream. His dream was to fly.

Hugo wanted to fly so bad. He tried everything that he could think of, and even made a list.

Jump off the tree 

Let the wind take me away

Jump in the air

Fly like a bird

Hugo kept trying but nothing ever worked. He then had a thought, and it was a brilliant thought.
