About the Book
Fly, Fly Again is a clever and charming story about
Jenny, a child who dreams of flying. After years of tinkering in makeshift
laboratories and studying the mechanics of flight with her pet Hawk, Jenny
builds a plane—only to crash into the yard of her skateboarding neighbor, Jude,
and his pet cheetah. Working with Jude, Jenny successfully learns how to
control and fly her plane. This unique story includes lessons about problem
solving, teamwork, and determination as well as family-friendly information
about the basics of aeronautical engineering like lift, drift, and more!
A brief interview
with the author
Where did you grow up
/live now?
I grew up in El Paso, Texas and moved to Austin to attend
UT. I currently live in Austin with my husband and three children.
When did you first
realize you wanted to be a writer?
Since I was very young, I have always loved to write. I have also had a passion for children’s
causes from a very young age, and writing this book was a great way to give
back to children’s education with our proceeds benefiting UNICEF and Buzz
Aldrin Ventures.
What inspired your
story?
Our story was inspired by my husband Jordan who has had a
love of flight since he was a child. Our family is in the aviation
industry and our 3 children have also developed a love for flying. We are constantly teaching them the basics of
flight in our day to day life, and this book was the perfect way to do so for
all kids that may be interested in flying.
