Illustrated by
Stacey Schuett.
As a girl rides on an airplane with her mother to say goodbye to her dying uncle, she imagines doing it her own way--in her uncle's biplane, skywriting her own message to him. Her honesty and courage balance the heart-tugging poignancy. With high contrasts of darkness and vibrant color, the evocative illustrations are both realistic and esoteric. This edition features new jacket art and a new trim size.
