Jump to the Moon: a Book About Setting Realistic Goals Bert Miller

An energetic young boy dreams about jumping to the moon. An adult tells him he can do anything if he tries hard enough. So the boy jumps and jumps. He gives it everything he has only to discover there are some things you cannot do, no matter how hard you try. Realizing he can never jump to the moon, the boy is forlorn until he sets a new goal for himself that is lofty and challenging, but also realistic and attainable. Through hard work, perseverance, study and teamwork the boy climbs a tall mountain. He experiences overwhelming happiness, regains his lost confidence and no longer feels compelled to jump to the moon.
