Review
4 stars!
A fresh, positive look at an always worthy topic.
Carrie Can Fly Too is first-time authors, Ashley and Breanna Bolliger, fresh new children’s picture book that delves into the differences between each of us and how we can still accomplish great things. The authors use the metaphor of birds. While existing in all the colors of the rainbow, they can all still learn to fly. Even very young children will get the underlying message.
Told in short rhyming sentences with cute illustrations on lots of white space, each page is eye-catching and easy on the ear for those reading aloud. The birds are depicted in strong primary colors. As a parent, I liked how the authors followed up with the bluebirds after Carrie was seen flying. They reconsider their initial behaviors toward Carrie and realize they’d acted unkindly, expressing remorse over their words and actions. I felt this image of coming full circle truly completed the message.
I recommend CARRIE CAN FLY TOO to young readers/listeners who are ready for a real-life lesson with their bedtime story.
About the Authors
Ashley and Breanna Bolliger are identical twin sisters born and raised in Canada. Growing up, they have always cherished creating new projects together. Their passion for writing flourished when they launched a wellness blog called Twinlife. Through the creation, they hoped their personal wellness experiences would propose positive change, motivating young adults to develop their own wellness routines to support personal mental health needs.
Ashley and Breanna created “Carrie Can Fly Too” to continually raise mental health awareness, targeting younger audiences. Self-confidence is an attribute that is often not taught, yet it is a motivating factor which drives many towards achieving personal goals. Self-confidence is also fostered when the world is a more accepting place, and everyone has the opportunity to embrace their unique differences. This is Ashley and Breanna’s first children’s book publication, and they wish to continue writing and illustrating books in the future.
