Bullying and the ability to rise above it are at the heart of this<br />
strikingly beautiful picture book. All school-aged children have<br />
either bullied, been bullied, or witnessed bullying, and all too<br />
often, they feel powerless to stop what has been set in motion.<br />
Such is not the case with Eliza. Her mother has given her<br />
“wings to fly” and the ability to see all the possibilities that lie<br />
before her. So, when bullies pick on the new student, Lainey,<br />
gradually robbing her of her smile and ability to paint beautiful<br />
pictures, Eliza wants to help, and she does, by finding a way to<br />
show Lainey all that she can be. Then in the schoolyard, Eliza<br />
stands up to the bullies. One by one, the other children add their<br />
voices, and soon the bullies have skulked away.<br />
Lyrical and eloquent yet realistic and down to earth, Nan<br />
Forler’s text is complemented beautifully with François Thisdale’s<br />
haunting images. This is a book for every child, every classroom,<br />
and every library.<br />
