Boys don't fly
Boys Don't Fly is a picture book about a young boy and his search for adventure, filled with lively and colorful illustrations, which has a universal theme.
While exploring the jungle, our young hero encounters several animal friends who each have a unique ability. Unfortunately, he is unable to imitate them when they use wings to fly, swim fast with flippers, or carry heavy objects with a giant trunk. When the boy returns home, his Grandmother teaches him a valuable lesson about what makes him special.
Boys Don't Fly was created by Cassie and Ryan Ehrenberg and published in June 2017 by Inkton Press.

Los Chicos No Vuelan
Because Boys Don’t Fly is a universal story, we wanted to explore translation to other languages so that we could share its message with more children. A huge thanks to Diane Volzer and Rachel Boyd for making this goal a reality by translating our words into Spanish!
Here’s the Spanish-language description of Los Chicos No Vuelan:
Mientras está explorando la jungla, nuestro héroe juvenil se encuentra con algunos amigos animales, cada quien tiene una habilidad única. Desafortunadamente, él no puede imitarlos cuando usan las alas para volar, nadan rápido con las aletas, o llevan objetos pesados con el tronco enorme. Cuando el chico regresa a casa, su abuela le enseña una lección valiosa sobre lo que a él le hace especial.
Los Chicos No Vuelan is available in softcover on Amazon.com.
