Product Description
The dramatic story of Jason--the loner and the outsider--and his struggle to be accepted into the society of his classmates, The Boy Who Would Be a Helicopter shows that the classrom is indeed the crucible within which the young discover themselves and learn to confront new problems. "Anyone who was once a child, and especially those who were helicopters, will enjoy it."--David Perkins, Kansas City Star.

• I Have A Question 19 September, 1999
Love her story-telling and its relationship to teaching - I use it in my ESL classes. Is Vivian related to the short story writer - Grace Paley?

• The Boy Who Would Be A Helicopter 08 June, 2007
This book helps teachers to see how important play is, as well as how we each have a voice to tell stories. Children have a great imagination and this book helps to see a glimpse of it.

• Master Teacher 27 January, 2008
I believe the story relayed in this book is truly what the concept of 'no child left behind' could mean with a teacher and wisdom that honors each child for who he/she is, and meets them where they are to invite them into a larger "education". If more of our young children with different abilities could be allowed to live into their stories we might evoke happier endings for them. Vivian Paley;s insight, wisdom and ability to educe young stories has deeply inspired the foundation of my teaching.
