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!

Well-written An adorable tale of a finch afraid of flying- ironically at an airport. Lovely and light-hearted with a great message for young readers.

crazy fear I think this was the cutest quick read ever. Only a 1000 words, but a powerful lesson. I will buy a few for my little friends. If young people learn the lesson behind this story when they ate young they will end up being fearless! Oops! Almost gave it away. You have to get the book!Gina

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...

Nice little book The lesson in the book is quite deep and it teaches us that fear is not an option. We eventually have to find a way to move on and this story is very inspiring.

Great Message For Children This book has beautiful illustrations that pop out of the page and will capture the attention of even the most restless child. The moral of the story is timeless- we are rewarded when we step out of our comfort zones. This is a key life lesson that ought to be taught from the earliest age.

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.
