Synopsis
On this airplane . . .
Someone travels solo,
two travel as one,
three return
and four set out.
In this simple and moving book, a young family takes a plane to their new home. While onboard, they encounter all the people you meet on a plane: a bookworm, a businessperson, tourists, crying babies and daydreamers . . . all with their own stories and all heading somewhere special.
#MelAndNikkiReview
On This Airplane is a delightful children’s book that reflects diversity, community and the sense of home.
A trip to get to their new home, a family gets to embrace the diversity of people in an airplane. They meet different people with all their own unique stories. It brings the sense of community, even though they have never met before.
For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give this book 5 airplanes out of 5! This book is beautiful in so many ways from the detailed illustrations to the intricate story line. The sense of togetherness and home is a strong message in this book to us and we loved that!
Nikki has never been on a plane before, and this book gave a little glimpse of what can happen on an airplane trip. It got her excited to one day take a trip on an airplane. Maybe one day! 🙂
