paper bird

I was asked to illustrate a lovely poem by Jane Yolen for Scholastic's Storyworks Magazine.

PAPER BIRD

Paper bird,

You can fly.

Lift your head,

Imprint the sky.

Parchment wings,

Inky heart, 

Wind and air

Is where you start.

(...)

Paper bird,

My delight,

Take me with you 

Into night.
