Praise for Touch the Sky by Stephanie V. W. Lucianovic, illustrated by Chris Park:
Booklist Editor's Choice
A Kirkus Best Picture Book
NPR Best Books of the Year
Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Books
Evanston Public Library 101 Great Books for Kids

Vern longs to be one of the kids who swoop until their toes touch the sky. He heads to the swings and desperately tries to pump his legs, but he just can't get it. A chance encounter with precocious (and hilarious) Gretchen gives him just what he needs to know, and he finally learns to soar.

A story for every child on the cusp of learning something new who just needs an extra push to get there.
