Reviews
Jabari's emotional ups and downs will be familiar to young children, and his hard-won success feels triumphant. Cornwall's clean, clear illustrations use patterns, green hues, and white space to deliver a variety of effective scenes. Jabari succeeds, and so does this book.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Great storytelling and compelling content should win this book readers of all ages.
--School Library Journal

Having conquered the high dive in Jabari Jumps (BCCB 05/17), Jabari now undertakes a new challenge--to make a flying machine that will traverse the length of the backyard, once again with his impulse toward independence vying with his need for help and encouragement...doggedly self-motivated Jabari and his reliably supportive dad are welcome role models in these family-friendly readalouds.
