She could imagine flying over her home, and seeing the George Washington Bridge. She could imagine seeing the bridge and flying over it everyday. She wants to help her Dad join the Union. She does not care if he is black or white. She is going to fly over and buy it for him. This is a great book about make believe, and changing your life so it will be easy.
