Mel Fell

Mel Fell is such a heartwarming story (and received a 2022 Caldecott honor!) This beautiful and humorous book is about Mel, a kingfisher, attempting her very first flight. As Mel bravely takes her leap, many animals try to ”rescue” her on the way down. Your kiddos will love turning the book sideways and upside down as they follow Mel! This story should definitely be added to your ”must read” list. Mel’s determination and confidence is inspiring!
