Jenny is a young girl who dreams of flying and, instead of waiting until she is older, decides to design a flying machine. As her neighbor and her pet hawk look on, will Jenny be able to take the principles that she has learned about flying to make her dreams come true?
There is a lot to like about this children's book, as it is well illustrated and depicts a young girl aspiring to make a career in a science field. I liked how the author uses principles of lift and aerodynamics, telling the story in a way that children would understand. The biggest negative to the book is the author's attempt at rhyming, as it is a detraction to the story. Fly, Fly Again would have been monumentally more effective with the story following a natural progression of words, instead of a forced rhythm. This is a charming book and would be a great addition to classroom and public libraries, as well as children's bookshelves at home.
Reminiscent of The Questioneers series (of which we have every title!) by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts, Jaffe and Lawson's new book encourages critical thinking skills, creative wonder, and diligence to pursue dreams.
Kiddo loved the story, she's nine, and still enjoys the magic of a children's storybook even though she's also reading chapter books now. She's heard me quote "Try, Try Again" her whole life and learned to read on McGuffey's which includes the poem in its reading exercises, so there was a genuine snicker when Hawk raised his feather and included the play on words, "If at first you don't succeed, fly, fly again!"
"It is a great book, no one can doubt that. The airplane design [in the illustrations] is amazing. But you still can't put that many people and pets into a wagon WITH a motor," Kiddo told me. She is now monologuing design flaws, propellor safety, and superior ways to attempt this project. I think the book has done exactly its job: spiked STEM thinking.
Fly, Fly Again is a new favorite we plan to read often.

Fly, Fly Again is a new favorite we plan to read often.
Jenny watches a hawk to see how natural flight works in birds, and then experiments with craft materials and toys to devise a flying machine. As she continues to figure out what makes flight work, she “falls” into her neighbor boy Jude’s yard. Jude shares her interest and together they work on a controlled flight and even bigger dreams of space.
Charmingly illustrated with exotic animal friends, Fly, Fly Again is a good story to introduce basic flight vocabulary and teach young children the importance of dreaming big, teamwork, and persistence.
