Bold and inquisitive, Flynn is a little fly with big aspirations. School is tough, and it’s all too easy to be distracted by the rocket company down the road–especially while daydreaming about becoming an astronaut! One day while exploring, Flynn flies aboard a rocket that suddenly takes off! Follow Flynn on an exciting journey to space to learn more about our precious planet—from amazing natural wonders like the Amazon rainforest, to the atmosphere that protects it all. After all, big dreams and a curious mind can lead to the most amazing discoveries!
With a book jacket that doubles as a glow-in-the dark poster, this engaging picture book from debut author and Emmy-award winner, Lauren Sánchez, features exquisitely detailed illustrations by Clio-award winner, Raleigh Stewart, and introduces important STEAM concepts. Encouraging exploration and conservation, Sánchez—and Flynn—will have little readers reaching for the stars.
Lauren Sánchez, Emmy Award-winning journalist, pilot, and philanthropist, takes readers on a high-flying space adventure with Flynn the Fly in her picture book debut.
The Fly Who Flew to Space
Lauren Sánchez was a children's book author, she was a little girl with big dreams. Growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, she looked to her father, a former flight instructor, and dreamed of one day becoming a pilot. Watching him ignited Lauren's passion for aviation. Years later, Lauren can see her own kids looking to the sky with wonder. That experience as a mom, coupled with her love of storytelling and adventure, motivated Lauren to write her first children's book. Lauren hopes this book can help kids everywhere find their passion and chase their dreams, even up into the clouds and beyond!
