Wings

Wings

by Christopher Myers Illustrated by Christopher Myers

Ikarus Jackson is brave enough to be his true self. But it isn't always easy. The people in his neighborhood point at his wings. The kids at school laugh. The teachers call him a distraction...

One girl understands him, but she is too shy to speak up for herself. Inspired by Ikarus's courage, she  begins her own journey of self-discovery — finally transforming them both. 

Stretch your wings with Ikarus and discover how it feels to follow your own heart!
