Wings by Christopher Myers is Cottage Lane's Book of the month. Not only does it demonstrate compassion (our word of the month) but also individuality. Children's author and illustrator Christopher Myers visited some of his biggest fans at P.S. 304 in New York City. There he used his humongous feet to show children that being different is something to celebrate. Watch this video from reading Rockets – Christopher Myers. In his book Wings, Ikarus Jackson is tormented at school because of his wings. Ikarus is strong enough to be different and strong enough to be proud of what makes him unique. Are you?
