Children's imaginations are not limited by reality. One moment they can be a mighty dragon flying high above a mountain, and the next they can be driving a car on a race track on the moon. With this short but powerful piece, the composer conveys the pure awe and sense of adventure that young children experience when they sit on their parents' shoulders. They are ready to take on any challenge.
