{"product_id":"the-people-could-fly-the-picture-book","title":"The People Could Fly: The Picture Book","description":"“THE PEOPLE COULD FLY,” the title story in Virginia Hamilton’s prize-winning American Black folktale collection, is a fantasy tale of the slaves who possessed the ancient magic words that enabled them to literally fly away to freedom. And it is a moving tale of those who did not have the opportunity to “fly” away, who remained slaves with only their imaginations to set them free as they told and retold this tale.\n\nLeo and Diane Dillon have created powerful new illustrations in full color for every page of this picture book presentation of Virginia Hamilton’s most beloved tale. The author’s original historical note as well as her previously unpublished notes are included.\n\nAwards for The People Could Fly collection:\n\nA Coretta Scott King Award\n\nA Booklist Children’s Editors’ Choice\n\nA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year\n\nA Horn Book Fanfare\n\nAn ALA Notable Book\n\nAn NCTE Teachers’ Choice\n\nA New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year\n\nA Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the Century\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375824057\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0375824057.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hamilton, Virginia|Dillon, Leo|Dillon Ph.D., Diane\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
