The Year We Learned to Fly

It begins one rainy, spring day when a bored brother and sister listen to their wise grandmother''s advice: "Use those beautiful and brilliant minds of yours. Lift your arms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and believe in a thing." And before they know it, their imagination takes them on a beautiful adventure! This skill, their grandmother tells them, harkens back to the days when their people were brought here in shackles, but whose beautiful and brilliant minds could never be cuffed. A poignant tale about the power of imagination, from author of Brown Girl Dreaming , Jacqueline Woodson.
