Little Leap Forward is an interesting chapter book about a young boy, called Leap Forward, living in China at the the time of the revolution. Leap Forward captures a beautiful bird in the hope that he can play along on his flute with the notes it sings. He soon realises that the bird refuses to sing in a cage and a dreadful decision is forced upon Leap Forward.
The story is stunningly illustrated throughout and excellently written to help us understand the life that Leap Forward lives. It teaches children about the value of freedom, and how Leap Forward and the bird suffered without it.
