New book introduces children to aviation

By General Aviation News Staff · October 16, 2024 ·

Just published is a new children’s book, “Red Plane, Blue Plane, One Plane, Two Planes,” described by author Saba Shahid as “a vibrant and playful introduction to the world of aviation for young readers.”

“This beautifully illustrated book offers an engaging journey through the skies, using fun rhymes and colorful planes to captivate children’s imaginations while inspiring curiosity about flying,” she said. “With each turn of the page, readers are introduced to different types of planes and their functions, making it both an entertaining and educational read for ages 3-8.”

“Red Plane, Blue Plane, One Plane, Two Planes” encourages children to explore the wonders of aviation and STEM fields, while reinforcing basic concepts of colors, numbers, and the fundamentals of aviation while emphasizing the importance of diversity, according to Shahid.

“I wanted to create a book that introduces children to the thrill of flying and the diversity of aircraft in a way that’s fun and accessible,” says Shahid. “Aviation is a field full of possibilities, and I hope this book sparks a love for flying in every child who reads it.”

“Red Plane, Blue Plane, One Plane, Two Planes” is available for purchase now on Amazon and Saba’s website, FlyingAuthor.com, for $11.99.
