Falling Up is a 1996 poetry collection primarily for children written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein[1] and published by HarperCollins.

It is the third poetry collection published by Silverstein, following Where the Sidewalk Ends (1974) and A Light in the Attic (1981), and the final one to be published during his lifetime, as he died just three years after its release.

Falling Up was the recipient of the Booklist Editors' Award in 1996.
