Synopsis
A little girl longs to fly with all her heart, even though it seems absolutely impossible. She tries to take off on a broom. It doesn't work. But perhaps, with the help of a big, full moon, and her cat, she might take her very first broom ride, just like a real witch! Gorgeously illustrated with a nostalgic feel. Other picture books by Alison McGhee include SOMEDAY and BYE-BYE CRIB.

Industry Reviews
"Yoo's gorgeous, muscular woodcuts, colored in subdued greens, browns and oranges with thick, night-black lines...Like its protagonist, this book soars."
(07/15/2009)
"This gentle, lyrical tale, written in the unusual poetic stanzas of a medieval sestina, recounts a young trick-or-treater's dogged attempts to make her dreams of flight come true. Linoleum block illustrations, in muted shades of green, orange, and brown and thick swathes of black and black line, juxtapose the cozy, rural details of a loving family's hearth and home with the shadowy, spooky outdoor world of jack-o'-lanterns, black cats, and bats under a full moon."

"The poem wears its rigidity lightly, weaving an effect that is languorous and incantatory."
