Praise
“This allegorical tale sparkles with symbolic and historical references central to African-American culture…. A practical and stunningly beautiful book.”–Horn Book, starred review
“The triumphant soaring of imagination over reality is beautifully expressed in Ringgold’s bold, vibrant paintings….Beautiful, innovative, and full of the joy of one unconquerable soul.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Ringgold’s strong figures and flattened perspective bring a distinctive magic to this dreamy and yet wonderfully concrete vision, narrated in poetic cadences that capture the language and feel of flight.” —Publishers Weekly
