How I Learned To Fall Out/ Hc

oger and Adelia are the very best of friends. TheyÕve spent many springtimes collecting birdsÕ nests, autumns jumping into piles of colorful leaves, and winters building snowmen. When the time comes for Adelia to move away, the two friends must say good-bye. But Adelia has one parting gift for Roger: She will teach him, once and for all, how to climb a tree. Lyrical and colorful, the narrative flips between AdeliaÕs instructions (Òhold on tight,Ó Òmove up when youÕre readyÓ) and her packing list (things they loved to play with, things they were supposed to throw away). By the time the moving van pulls up, Roger is ready to start his climb. But now, heÕs afraid of Òletting go.Ó In a sweet reveal, we learn that Adelia has left behind a soft landing, making sure thatÑfor RogerÑfalling is the easiest part.
