One rainy day, a bored brother and sister listen to their wise grandmother's advice: "Use those beautiful and brilliant minds of yours. Lift your arms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and believe in a thing."

And before they know it, their imagination takes them on a beautiful adventure through ancestry, strength and resilience. They dream, they believe and eventually . . . they fly.

A poignant tale about the power of imagination, from the award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming, Jacqueline Woodson.
