Little Wings #5: Willa Bean to the Rescue!

Part of Little Wings

Illustrated by Kristi Valiant
Cecilia Galante's sweet series about a lovable curly-haired cupid swoops down to London in book #5.

Willa Bean is having a moody Moonday. School is closed, Harpers's not around, and Mama can't do anything now—only later. Then Daddy whispers to her—she can go down to Earth with him! Earth! Wolla-wolla-wing-wang! Willa Bean has never been there before! She just has to promise to be good. And her arrows are only for pretending. No problem, Willa Bean thinks. But then she spots a bully picking on a poor little orange-haired boy. Watch out, Earth! It's Willa Bean to the rescue!
CECILIA GALANTE is the author of several young adult and middle grade books, including The Patron Saint of Butterflies, an Oprah's Book Club Teen Reading Selection, a Book Sense Pick, and a Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year.
