"Children's Bookwatch" review

"If You Tell Me, I Can Fly!" tells a tale of inspiration and empowerment through examples of creatures who really do learn to fly. The message is empowering, thrilling, and unmistakable. "If You Tell Me, I Can Fly!" delivers its message using layers of meaning. "If You Tell Me, I Can Fly!" is a beautiful, powerful, inspirational book for young readers. It definitely deserves all seven of its illustrious awards and perhaps a few more for the power of creativity embodied in it.

"Some stories give roots; some give wings–this story gives both."
-Neita Fran Ward, BFA, MLS

"Such a beautiful book to send inspiration during times when a loved one is standing on the brink of change: graduation, new career, parenthood, or heading into countless other frontiers."
– Christian Y. Mother/ Librarian

"If we could give all children this message, what power they would have to become whatever they dream."
-Betsy R. Third grade teacher

"Like the beloved classic Peter Pan, this book fulfills the unique dreams of flight in its own special way."
-Joan Hallmark, Talk Show Host, and Producer KLTV

"This book made me think about the people in my life who helped me believe that I could fly. It made me realize there are people I need to tell. Thank you for a perfectly lovely gift!"
-Lynn C. Single Mother/Accountant

"One has to wonder, how would our lives have been different if someone had told us that we could fly!"
– Margaret A. Retired

"Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, with a message that softly flows from the pages into your heart."
– Beatrice P. Grandmother

"This book, with its encouraging words and true-to-life illustrations, touched my heart at such a deep level! Sharon knows and puts words to the importance of giving encouragement to persons of all ages. At 83 years of age, it took me back to the child inside that longs to be encouraged and reminded that I can indeed still fly."
– Darce M

"This book with stunning watercolor pictures is a beautiful book about transitions as your young ones leave home for the first time. Starting with a caterpillar that eventually turns into a beautiful butterfly, followed by a baby hummingbird, a beetle, an eagle, and more all start out as young, unable-to-fly beings. That voice inside them and the help of their family enable them to learn everything they need to fly eventually. It is something all living things eventually have to do."
-Amazon Review.

"As parents, we need to remember it is our job to prepare our children to leave the nest, so to speak, so as hard as the transition is, whether it is the teen years, college, or a new apartment, we need to give our children the tools to believe they can fly. If we let them believe, they can! Great gift!"
