Fear of flying no more Planes can be scary, not only for children, but for adults. And birds too, apparently. Luckily this book lets you see through the eyes of a bird and a child that flying is fun, beautiful, and better than eating stale pretzels in the airport. Overall, an excellent book for any child about to go on their first flight!

This is a great book for kids at bedtime or whenever they want to read. I liked the pace of the story, it kept my 5-year-old's attention the whole way through (which is not an easy feat). It's a clever premise with a good ending. We'll see if the lesson from the book is taken to heart next time we have to fly...

A Sweet And Entertaining Book For A Common Fear A sweet and entertaining story about realizing that your fears are often worse than what you are afraid of, and that, by facing them, you often find out there was nothing to be afraid of, after all.And the illustrations are wonderful.

Upbeat and Positive A little bird who lives in an airport would be an expert on flight, right? But that’s not the case in this delightful picture book. In fact, Finch the bird is afraid to fly. How he overcomes this fear is the subject of this sweet story.Finch meets a small boy eating a giant pretzel in the airport. When Finch learns that the boy is as nervous about flying as Finch is, the two strike up a friendship and board the plane together. Both are afraid. But by helping and encouraging each other and seeing things from a new perspective, their fears are calmed. In fact, Finch decides he might even try flying himself and takes on a special role.This is an upbeat and positive story about fear and friendship and trying new things. The story is clever and engaging, with top-notch illustrations. It also teaches young readers about patience, understanding, and compassion. A worthwhile addition to any library!I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Kid approved! This is a big-hearted book with transformative messages—the value of support amid personal difficulties, using curiosity to conquer your own fearful resistance to the unknown, etc., but it’s delightful & totally digestible. Our 5 yo requested it repeatedly. He loved the madcap chaos the bird caused & the messages got through in a very lighthearted way. I credit it to a great, easy flight 4hr flight!

Great for kids with fears! I love that this book doesn’t try to dismiss children’s fears and, instead, highlights the value of supporting eachother through them. The characters find that when they break out of their comfort zone they are rewarded. The illustrations are bright and engaging and the story has just the right amount of silliness for kids to appreciate. Perfect for anxious kids.

Lovely book that's got a great lesson for kids! What an awesome book! I loved the message for kids, anxiety isn't something one person experiences, it's relatable! And when we share our fears we reduce them and they're manageable, or we over come them. GREAT read.

Sweet and silly Adorable story about the joy (and chaos) of being open to new experiences. Will be giving copies to family and friends!
