From Judith Henderson, the author of “AAAlligator!” we now have “Willa and Wade and the Way-Up-There”. A humorous picture book/graphic for young readers about friends Willa (an ostrich) and Wade (a penguin) who will do anything to fly! The two birds try a variety of things from pogo sticks to jumping off cliffs to meet their goal. This is a fun book about perseverance and determination. Early readers will enjoy the bright and engaging illustrations and read how sometimes, your goal cannot be met easily. I recommend this silly read for all elementary libraries. Especially if one is looking for more books that are similar to Elephant and Piggie.
