    About this ebook

    Where Is the Sears Tower? tells the story of Peter, a pigeon who travels to Chicago to visit his grandfather who lives at the Willis Tower (formerly named the Sears Tower). The story is similar to The Little Prince. Peter travels from landmark to landmark discovering animals with different personalities that each teach him a life lesson. The amazingly detailed artwork captures Chicago’s true essence as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Each painting (except the first) contains a part of the Willis Tower. Readers from ages 2 to 92 will be entertained and edified.

      Where Is the Sears Tower? - Tad Mitchell

      compass.

      University of Notre Dame

      I can’t wait to see Grandpa, announced Peter as he anxiously fluttered from branch to branch. Peter and his mother lived at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. She promised that he could visit his grandfather in Chicago when he turned one. Today was Peter’s first birthday. The sun was rising, and Peter was ready to go.

      Come here, Peter, called his mother, and stand still while I tell you how to get there. Peter landed next to his mother. Fly to the great lake and then follow the shoreline west until you see the large buildings of Chicago. Once you are there, ask where the Sears Tower is. That is where Grandpa lives.

      That’s easy, Mom. I know I can do it. Peter fluttered off again. Can I go now?

      Not yet. Come here, and pay attention. I have one more thing to tell you. Peter landed again. Every time I left home, your grandfather would tell me, ‘Remember your inner compass.’

      I always do, replied Peter. I don’t even think about it. My compass tells me which way to fly when it’s foggy or dark. I can even fly with my eyes closed.

      Peter’s mother smiled. "That compass is very important, but I am talking about another compass."

      Two compasses? That’s silly. You mean one compass tells me to fly one way and the other compass tells me to fly another way?

      Peter’s mother laughed. Grandpa was talking about a different kind of compass-a feeling in your heart that helps you decide what to do and fills you with peace once you have made the right choice.

      Like the time those boys were being mean to Patty and I stood up for her? I was afraid they would be mean to me too, but something told me I should help her anyway. When they were hurtful to me, it didn’t seem to matter after all, because helping her made me feel so warm inside.

      Exactly. You are so smart, Peter. When you go out into the world, you will meet all sorts of animals with all sorts of ideas about what you should do. Sometimes it will be confusing. It will feel like you are flying in the fog or the dark. You will need your inner compass to help you make the right choices.

      So if I am ever confused about what I should do, all I need to do is to listen to my inner compass, confirmed Peter.

      Precisely, and when you make the right choice you will feel good inside. She rubbed her cheek against his and whispered, I love you, Peter.

      I love you, too, Mom. Can I go now?

      Peter’s mother smiled. Yes, you may go. Be careful. Have a nice visit with Grandpa, and give him a big hug for me.

      Peter yelled, Yippee! as he dove off the branch. He circled around and waved to his mother and said, Thank you so much for letting me go, Mom. I love you! Goodbye!
