Words with Wings
WORDS WITH WINGS by Nikki Grimes. Wordsong, 2013.
Gabby is at a new school, one where she is sometimes chastised for not paying close attention. How can Gabby concentrate when she has words inside her that are crying to be let out? A caring teacher, a new and unexpected friend, and her words are what will keep Gabby flying. Coretta Scott King Honor Award, 2014.
