About this title

About the Author:

Reeve Lindbergh, daughter of aviator Charles Lindbergh and poet Anne Morrow Lindbergh, first learned about Bessie Coleman in 1986, the 60th anniversary of her father's famous flight. ""Bessie was an incredibly brave person who was hardly noticed, while my parents got so much publicity it was difficult for them to live their normal lives. I saw a crazy imbalance and wanted to try to set things right."" Reeve Lindbergh lives in Vermont.
Pamela Paparone observes that NOBODY OWNS THE SKY is ""about making dreams come true. My own dream has always been to be a children's book illustrator. In fact, I was ten years old when I created my first children's book. I dedicated it to Johnny Cash."" Pamela Paparone lives in Pennsylvania.

From School Library Journal:

PreS?A straightforward version of the familiar counting rhyme. Paparone's artwork, done in rich, saturated acrylics and colored pencil, effectively follows the rhyming pattern of the text. Mother Duck is shown doing a variety of household chores as well as engaging in a few hobbies. At the end of the day, she lures her youngsters home with milk and apple pie. Unfortunately, the ducks lack character. The ducklings are identical with no distinct personality traits. Similarly, Mother Duck has a vacant look and seems unconcerned about her offsprings' wanderings. Despite this flaw, Five Little Ducks is a pleasant, gentle book reminiscent of days gone by. For a more robust version, try the one from Raffi's "Songs to Read" series (Crown, 1988), illustrated by Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey.?Dawn Ibey, Vancouver Public Library, Canada
