Overview
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.
When her five little ducks disappear one by one, Mother Duck sets out to find them.

PreS-Gr 1This traditional English rhyme, translated into Spanish, recounts the adventures of five little ducks who, one by one, become lost. The language is very simple and the warm illustrations complement the verse in a delightful manner. An excellent choice for toddler storyhours and one that will engage beginning readers.Ruth Dlugos, NYPL
