Illustrated by
Christian Robinson.
"Just in case you want to fly / here's some wind / and here's the sky // here's a feather / here's up high /and here's a wing from a butterfly." The creators of When's My Birthday? turn philosophical in this offering. Though somewhat sentimental, the rhyming text's grownup-sounding voice also sprinkles in some gentle silliness. Robinson's trademark sense of play in his spare, geometric illustrations enhances--and occasionally winks at--the text's sense of wonder.
