Quick reviews of some of my favorite reads

WHEN YOU NEED WINGS by Lita Judge

I have read WHEN YOU NEED WINGS (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2020) to young kids, to middle school students, and to adults. In all these readings, I sensed my audience quiet down even before we reached the title page. I  heard them listen, connect, and unwind. And time and again, I caught the eye of  listeners whose faces said, "This is me!"
The combination of Lita Judge's playful, yet emotive watercolor art, and her sparse, lyrical text connects with her audience's heart. WHEN YOU NEED WINGS reassures in a time when young readers need comfort. It affirms, strengthens, and builds confidence. And makes us reach deep for our own wings.
