Petrov the Flying Fox

Petrov, a fox living in the high steppes of Eastern Europe, discovers he can fly when urgently needed to save his family, only to find themselves rejected by other foxes in their new home simply because they look a bit different. Ultimately, Petrov teaches that we are all capable of immense deeds when we believe in ourselves, that we are all more alike than different and that a brave, generous heart is the true definition of character.
