The Year We Learned to Fly by Jacqueline Woodson, illustrated by Rafael López, is a lyrical picture book that celebrates imagination, resilience, and the strength of heritage. Following a brother and sister through a year of ordinary challenges—boredom, sibling squabbles, and days stuck indoors—their grandmother encourages them to close their eyes, take a deep breath, and “fly” beyond their circumstances using the power of their minds. Inspired by the legacy of African American history and culture, this gentle story affirms the importance of inner strength, creativity, and connection across generations.
