From the creators of the award-winning When’s My Birthday? comes an inspirational book that will comfort and support through any challenge.

just in case you want to fly

here's some wind and here's the sky...

What else might you need? A song. Your favourite giraffe. And a map to find your way home again.

This tender, contemplative picture book is about growing up. It’s about parents giving their children the gifts, no matter how quiet or small, to succeed and to navigate the world on their own. And it’s about the connection that binds a parent and child… because no matter how far they fly or who they become, they will always have home.

_Just in Case You Want to Fly_ is praised for its beautiful paper-cut illustrations by Christian Robinson, which depict diverse children engaged in joyful play. The book conveys a touching message about the enduring connection between parents and children, even when they are apart, and offers a heart-warming perspective on the gifts shared with children as they prepare to grow and become independent.
