The Year We Learned to Fly

This book was about a girl and her brother always being angry. They were also always bored in the house. Her grandmother told her and her brother to lift their arms, close their eyes, and imagine they could do anything. And they did, and it worked.

I really liked this book because there are so many Black characters and it talked about our history. Plus, it told us how to calm down when our siblings are very annoying. And that actually helps me too because I have three siblings. And my younger sister can be very annoying.

At the start of the book, the flowers that the illustrator drew were very beautiful. I loved all the colors put together to make very beautiful pictures.
