I was hanging out with my friend Tae a few weeks back and stumbled upon two killer books that everyone must see. First, there’s ALL THE WORLD illustrated by Marla Frazee and Liz Garton Scallion.

But one little girl wants to fly—more than anything. So on a special night, with the moon shining bright and her cat by her side, she gathers herself up, she grips her broom tight, and she tries. And she fails. And she’s brave. And she tries again. Until . . .
