just in case you want to fly
here's some wind and here's the sky...
What else might you need A song. Your favourite giraffe. And a map to find your way home again.
This tender, contemplative picture book is about growing up. Its about parents giving their children the gifts, no matter how quiet or small, to succeed and to navigate the world on their own. And its about the connection that binds a parent and child because no matter how far they fly or who they become, they will always have home.
Christian Robinsons paper-cut art beautifully captures diverse children in joy-filled play. The book shows that there is always a connection between parents and children, even though they might be far apart. * Inis Magazine *
