Fly Flies by Ziggy Hanaor, illustrated by Alice Bowsher. PICTURE BOOK. Cicada Books, 2019. 9781908714619

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

All sorts of flying animals try to teach Fly how to fly. The blackbird, the starling, the stork, and the hawk all have different ideas that don’t work for Fly until a butterfly suggests Fly is doing just fine. 

This is a simple book with a good message. Do your own thing and don’t worry about the differences between your way and others’ ways. The simplicity might lose some readers especially given the black and white illustrations on a matte recycled paper.
