just in case you want to fly

here’s some wind

and here’s the sky

here’s a feather

here’s up high

and here’s a wing from a butterfly

This tender, contemplative picture book is about growing up. It’s about parents giving their children the gifts, no matter how quiet or small, to succeed and to navigate the world on their own. And it’s about the connection that binds a parent and child…because no matter how far they fly or who they become, they will always have home.
