Things with Wings

One of Will's favorite books is called Things with Wings, by Kaaren Pixton. A fan of all things paper, we call this book Will's "magazine." In case it's not evident from the photo, Things with Wings has been chewed, dropped in the bathtub and crumpled into a ball, only to bounce back time and time again. That's because it's made of Tyvek. Yes, you read that right. As you stop and wonder, "Where have I seen that brand before?" you know the name because it's the stuff ("home wrap," in industry-speak) that keeps houses under construction nationwide safe from the elements. Given the dogged persistence of a paper-crazy baby, it is indeed the perfect construction material for infant books. Now marketed as part of the Indestructibles series, you can find Things with Wings, retitled as Flutter! Fly!, along with other books in the series, at your local bookstore or online.

But back to Will. Look out, Farrah! Break out your best leisure suits, we're heading back to the 70s! Will gives new meaning to "things with wings!" We hope that he'll be featured in the next edition.
