THINGS SEEN FROM ABOVE

A new middle grade novel about the power of friendship, nonconformity, and creativity. Told in an original style through alternating perspectives and illustrations. Perfect for fans of All of the Above and The Seventh Most Important Thing.

Join Shelley and create a character from a shoe
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. —Nelson Mandela
