      Brian ★★★★★

      My daughter gasped when Mel started her dive—the illustrations really capture that feeling of falling. She’s asked me to read it three times tonight already.

      Ryan ★★★★★

      I bought this for my nephew and we both ended up laughing at Mel’s dramatic dive—the vertical page layout really sells the falling sensation. The story is simple but the way it builds to that triumphant landing is genuinely touching.

      Thomas C. ★★★★★

      The illustrations alone are worth it—Mel the kingfisher is drawn with so much charm that my kids kept pointing at the page and giggling. The story about her learning to fly is short but packs a real emotional punch, and I’ve already read it three times tonight.
