Paper Airplane: The Flight of Change

This book is a real gem on a lot of levels! I was absorbed the minute I opened the cover of the book. I thought the play of text and images was powerful and engaging! I was tickled to turn each page and discover what you had done. I teach gifted students at a school in Naperville, Illinois and I read it outloud to them and they "got it" right away. They know what it means to live outside of the box and felt really validated by your story. If you begin to get some student responses, you will know where they came from. I also hope to read it aloud to the parents of these gifted students on Orientation Night! Michael, I applaud your efforts with this book and cannot wait to have you create more!...

Out of the Box

This book is one of my favorite books. I love the way that the author put only a little bit of words in each page and lots of pictures or photographs. When my project arrow teacher read this book, it inspired me to not follow the crowd. I've learned that if you know that your idea might be better than the rest, go with it!I love the way the author kept us waiting for what Jeff was about to do. The real pictures really got me in the story. So if you haven't read this book, READ IT RIGHT AWAY!!!

The message of change.

I found in this book a soul-mate. The hurdles you face when you are an agent for change whether you are 12 or 60 remain the same. You are different. You buck the norm. You are often a cast out. You are not fair. All these messages come through in the book. This is a good book for parents who have kids that seem to march to a different drum. And, oh yes, even the design of the book is different. It "AIN'T NO REAL BOOK". I recommend the book.

Great book!

What a fun, inspiring and thought-provoking book! While the message is serious, the story is cute, funny, well-written and creatively illustrated. This book should be a "must read" for educators. Read it... you'll love it! Great book to give as a gift. :-)
