- **Event Description**: Sleek, regal, gravity-defying, I fly the open skies.

Every day, tens of thousands of airplanes crisscross the globe, delivering people and cargo of all sorts—from mail to medicine to dinosaur fossils—exactly where they need to go. Join one long-haul commercial airplane as it prepares for takeoff and follow the flight all the way to a safe landing at the destination. 


Kelly is a mom in STEAM writing for curious kids of all ages! She loves getting little humans excited about BIG ideas! Her books I Truck, I Ship, and I Fuel are major Fred & June’s hits! Fresh off her summer release of the fun book The Farm Next Door, Kelly brings us the next installment of this educational series with her newest release I FLY!

Mechanics mend parts, pilots check the cockpit, dispatchers make a flight plan, and flight attendants tend to passengers in the course of this important journey. Along its journey, the plane encounters course corrections, weather challenges, and a sky full of other aircraft—but it flies through, delivering its passengers exactly where they want to be. From the creators of I Ship, I Fuel, and I Truck comes an adventure that will send readers' imaginations soaring!


For fans of Richard Scarry, here is a gentle introduction to the concept of money and community, using heartwarming animal characters, from a New York Times bestselling illustrator.
