Description

Slaves with ancient magic that enabled them to fly away to freedom is the fantastical tale told by Virginia Hamilton. This Coretta Scott King Honor-winning picture book tells the story of those who did not have the opportunity to "fly" away, but found freedom in their imaginations.

The powerful illustrations by Leo and Diane Dillon accompany Hamilton's voice as it sings out from the pages with soaring cadences that echo the storytellers of her childhood. A moving tale of hope and resilience, The People Could Fly is a story that has captivated readers for generations.
