“Goggles – The Bear Who Dreamed Of Flying”
Picture book for children age 3-7.
I loved creating this book with my friend Richard Robinson. The story of a very small bear with a very BIG dream, he wants to fly!
Everyone tells him he is too little, but he always wears flying goggles, just in case, which is why all his family call him ‘Goggles’. Then one day, he discovers a BIG SECRET that means his dream might just come true.
Children love finding out the secret of how he gets to FLY!
When we encourage imagination in our children, it opens their hearts and minds to all the magical possibilities of the world.
This book is written to inspire them to dream great dreams, and to believe that sometimes, dreams really can come true.
FASCINATING 'FLYING' ILLUSTRATIONS
We enjoyed filling the illustrations with enchanting details, like … bears hidden in the clouds, a mischievous mouse on every page, and an animated honey jar in the page corners: Just flip the pages, and magically, the honey jar fills up!
THE WRIGHT BROTHERS - FIRST HUMANS TO FLY.
The bears are called the “Wright Bears”, inspired by the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, the first people to fly. The book has a full page of photos about them, and their famous plane “The Wright Flyer.”
Actual film of the Wright Brothers flying their famous plane.
