There was once a little green airplane named Andrew. Not only is Andrew the Airplane smart, but he's also great at his job. Nobody could fly like Andrew the Airplane, but now the newer and bigger planes don't think Andrew is good enough to keep up with them.

They tease Andrew and tell him that he's far too small to be a good plane. They say that he's too old to fly in the air and deliver packages. The other planes start to get more deliveries than Andrew because they are bigger and can travel longer distances. Unfortunately for Andrew, he's stored away in the plane hangar while the other planes become more popular. No one remembers that Andrew the Airplane is great in the air and the world moves on. Packages get delivered and poor old Andrew the Airplane is left alone. Well, until your child comes along and encourages him by building his self-esteem and showing Andrew how important and special he really is.

One day a very large storm hits and manages to split the runway in half. None of the newer and bigger planes can use the runway because now it's too small. The nearby town's electricity has gone out and the people living there need fresh supplies.

But with most of the planes being far too large, how can the supplies be delivered using such a small runway? Will Andrew the Airplane be able to prove that he has what it takes to deliver the supplies to the stranded townspeople, or are the big planes right, and is Andrew just far too small to be of any help?
