Out on a Limb
Author Jordan Morris and illustrator Charlie Mylie’s Out on a Limb is a picture book story about a child with a broken leg who explores the role of courage and patience in the healing process—both inside and out.
 
Lulu’s leg is broken, but she’s OK. Bonnie Bear has a matching yellow cast. Her sympathy trove has new books, sweet cards, and pretty daisies. She finds new ways to do ordinary things—like taking a bath or wearing her favorite pants.
 
As time wears on, the newness of the cast wears off and the weariness sets in. Lulu grows bored and grumpy by day. Her cast becomes itchy and twitchy at night. Eventually, it’s time to get the cast off, but Lulu’s not ready. What if her leg can’t do all of the things it used to do? What if it breaks again? A visit from Grandpa, a well-timed letter, and the power of healing help get Lulu back on her feet.
 
“A welcome story of a child overcoming her fears in her own time, and of a close and supportive intergenerational friendship.”—Horn Book Magazine

About the Author

Jordan Morris is a graphic designer with experience in exhibit, visitor experience, and writing projects. Out on a Limb is her debut picture book.; Charlie Mylie is an author and illustrator living the dream in Kansas City, Kansas. Its only occurring to him now that his interdisciplinary art degree from Kansas City Art Institute might have actually helped in making childrens books. His wife and preschooler, however, have had a significant, obvious impact on his work and life, while the cat has contributed nothing. Mylie wants to keep exploring, for as long as he is allowed, how words and pictures—together—help us making sense of this confounding world. His books include Something for You, We Might See, and Out on a Limb.
