| A
little about the book: |
Sandy Miller,
founder of Kane Miller Books, showed
me a delightful Italian baby book he
was publishing. I knew a little
Italian from the time I lived in
Rome, so his assistant, Robin Blum,
and I adapted the text. This happy
tale of try, try, try and fly, fly,
fly hardly needs words at all.
To Fly is one of my
daughter's favorite picture books
for its message and simplicity.

| From
the reviews: |
“The
brief, rhyming text is enjoyable to
recite aloud and will be easy for
toddlers to memorize. The denouement
shows all the birds flying into the
sky with an enormous golden sun in the
background, in a spread that folds out
to twice the size of the others....
the humor of the birds’ expressions
and the bold and stylized art easily
recommend this for the board-book
set.” Kirkus
