About this item
Cy is a Cyclops who knows how to make just about anything - except a friend. So Cy practices friend-making skills and then sets off. When beaming confidence, making eye contact, and winking don't work, he comes up with another plan. Knowing that it's nice to share, he builds a chariot for two - for himself and his friend-to-be. Sure enough, Cy's chariot catches the eye of a phoenix, Sunny, who's always longed to fly. She offers a set of wings, and Cy and his new friend take off together. Funny and satisfying, this is a tale that celebrates being yourself and following your dreams.
