Buckle up for an adventure in the sky with "Finch's First Flight!" by Steve Ciabattoni

Meet Finch, a bird who lives at the airport, but… he’s actually afraid to fly. When he meets a young boy at the airport who is also afraid to fly, they work out a deal that gets them both on the plane. When Finch finds out how beautiful it is up there, he decides to try flying for real. That’s when things get a little turbulent, but everyone lands safely and Finch learns to fly higher than ever before.

Praise for “Finch’s First Flight

“A sweet, boldly illustrated tale of conquering your fears… a bird flying inside an airplane causes quite the hilarious ruckus.” – KIRKUS REVIEWS
