Only a Witch Can Fly

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Taeeun Yoo. After trick-or-treating, a girl wearing a witch hat sets out to fly on her broom; two false starts precede triumphant success. Yoo's linoleum block prints invite readers into a cozy world whose backgrounds range from peaceful gray-blues to sage with pumpkin accents; events are defined in dramatic black. McGhee's rhythmic second-person verse with its soothing repetitions resembles a lullaby.
