Description

Now in a board book edition, this vibrant and deceptively simple picture book from star author-illustrator Bill Cotter follows the stages of a long-distance flight from take-off to safe landing, with quietly breathtaking moments along the way.

The airplane says good-bye to the ground.

The airplane says hello to the sky.

Now in board book for the first time, this simple story captures the familiar yet remarkable marvel of modern airplanes. Each vivid spread portrays a plane's journey from take-off to landing. As the airplane travels over miniature houses and through a starry night, wondrous details-such as the tiny plane's outline hiding among a flock of flying birds, and the plane's shadow gliding over clouds, will engage and delight future pilots, lovers of things that go, and any child about to embark on their first airplane trip.
