(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Julie Morstad. This warm, funny novel, illustrated with delicate line drawings and touched with magical realism, explores themes of acceptance and family with avian metaphors and imagery. Nashville, hatched from an egg his father found, lives in limbo between human and bird existences in a house nestled in a tree. Readers will cheer as Nashville builds wings and tests the limits of what's possible.
