What if he tries and the wings don't work, and he flails, plummets, and looks foolish? Then again, what if his wings take him swooping and gliding, sailing and flying through a great big wonderful world? He'll never know if he never endeavors. With the help of her bold, beautiful collage artwork, Caldecott Honor-winning artist Holly Meade offers a gentle nudge for hesitant fledglings of all ages and species to step out, to dare, to try . . . and to fly.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Stunning collages of textured linoleum block prints and watercolors span double-page spreads to showcase the wee yellow bird warily peeking out of his nest on a pine bough as he debates and imagines himself soaring as well as plummeting....An irresistible invitation to test those wings and fly<br>--Kirkus Reveiws (starred review) <p/>Lovely ode to setting out on your own.
