(4) K-3 Translated by Lisa Rosinsky. Illustrated by Eric Puybaret. Despite Emery's parents' disapproval ("Be practical!"), the boy and his pet swallow commit their summer to building a flying machine, enlisting the help of their new neighbor, an elderly inventor. This surreal and slightly overlong parable (translated from the French) about following one's dreams is paired with majestic full-page acrylics capturing all manner of motion: blowing hair, flying birds, and soaring contraptions.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
