Books have wings.
You can't see them, but they are there just the same. For some readers, books give them wings to rise above prejudice and discover pride in their cultural and racial heritage. For others, the wings help them cope with difficult situations - a parent's divorce, the death of a family member, or the illness of a friend. The wings are real, but first you must read to feel their power and their lift. 2001 Letters about Literature Winners Check out our Judges for Letters about Literature 2001.
