A message of love, support, and empowerment, from bestselling author Julie Fogliano.

 

just in case you want to fly

here's some wind

and here's the sky

 

Funny and sweet, told with lyrical text, Just in Case You Want to Fly is a celebration of heading off on new adventures—and of knowing your loved ones will always have your back when you need them.

 

A joyful, inclusive cast of children fly, sing, and wish their way across the pages, with everything they could ever need—a cherry if you need a snack, and if you get itchy here's a scratch on the back—to explore the world around them. The humor and warmth of the poetic text tease out new meanings and adding delightful details that will have you turning the pages again and again. 

 

Julie Fogliano creates a perfect book to share with the little ones you love—to give them everything they need to go out into the world, and reassure them you'll always be waiting to welcome them home.

 

Whether it's for big milestones like graduations or holidays, or quiet bedtimes and cozy moments together, Just in Case You Want to Fly is made for sharing, with gentle humor and sweet reassurances. 

 

'Striking a dream-nurturing balance between the commonplace and the magical, this lovely book is perfect for sharing one-on-one at bedtime or anytime.'—School Library Journal, Starred Review
