“Jabari’s emotional ups and downs will be familiar to young children, and his hard-won success feels triumphant. Jabari succeeds, and so does this book.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Jabari is making a flying machine in his backyard...
“It’ll be easy. I don’t need any help,” he declares. But it doesn’t work! Jabari is frustrated. Good thing Dad is there for a pep talk and his little sister, Nika, is there to assist, fairy wings and all.
With the endearing father-child dynamic of Jabari Jumps and engaging mixed-media illustrations, Gaia Cornwall’s tale shows that through perseverance and flexibility, an inventive thought can become a brilliant reality.
