What comes up must come down!
When Bear falls at Emily's feet, she is determined to get him back where he belongs. But Gravity keeps pulling Bear straight back down. So, Emily makes it her mission to defy Gravity and make the impossible, possible!This empowering picture book is about the forces that keep us grounded, and the equally powerful forces of determination, knowledge and human ingenuity that allow us to fly.Isabel Thomas (Author)
