The Amazing Flight of Daisy: A Runaway Kite Circles the World on the Back of the Wind

The Amazing Flight of Daisy is an imaginative and lyrical children´s book. It features a girl´s rebellious kite that is hijacked by the wind. Together, they circle the world, describing everything they see from a unique perspective: the skies above. Educational and adventurous, this modern-day fable mixes the realism of world travel with a message about our stressed environment. In addition, the book telegraphs the idea that girls can grow up to do anything well. Fiona, a girl living on a Maine island, is given a kite that she names Daisy. When the Wind steals Daisy away, a fantastic adventure begins as they circle the world, encountering a storm at sea on the QE2, the mysterious Northern Lights, the Paris catacombs, and remote tribes from Tibet to Bali. There is a daring ride with Fiona over Africa in a vintage Tiger Moth biplane, and a surprise ending. This book is available through retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders.
