Skye Takes Flight! - Hardcover

Skye Takes Flight! introduces young readers to a richly imagined world of travel, friendship, and possibility through the eyes of an unlikely protagonist - a suitcase named Skye.

Born at a factory alongside her best friends Gypsy and Atlas, Skye harbors a quiet but powerful dream: to belong to a flight attendant and see the world. When that dream is realized on graduation day at a flight attendant training ceremony, Skye embarks on a whirlwind debut journey - from Hollywood to New York - discovering along the way that courage, community, and a sense of wonder are the only luggage that truly matters.

Themes: friendship, identity, belonging, bravery, career exploration, and the joy of new beginnings.

Skye Takes Flight! is written for children ages 3-8 and designed for read-aloud use in classroom, library, and home settings. Its accessible language, short chapters, and emotionally resonant characters make it ideal for early literacy programming and SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) curriculum integration.

This is Book 1 of the planned Worldwide Airlines series (6-12 books), offering collections and school library sets potential as the series grows.

Author Evelyn Starr is an active commercial flight attendant, lending the series an authenticity and insider perspective rare in children's aviation literature. CoStarr Publishing, her independent imprint, is committed to building a durable character franchise with accompanying educational and merchandise extensions.
