Milo the frog and Jack the crow soar beyond the pond on a whimsical adventure — a heartwarming tale of friendship, courage, and home.
About The Author
Leilani Hart has, since quite small, enjoyed a good tale, her first introduction being the charm of Beatrix Potter’s stories of Peter Rabbit, Jeremiah Puddle Duck Huck Finn Kitten and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. The magic spell cast by a well-spun story captivated her young mind. Books soon became a magic carpet to transport her up and away from the dreary Navy housing units of her childhood, and a little later from the grid of tract housing projects of modest “cracker box” houses, each a carbon copy of the other.
A tale of daring adventure could lead her down into dark underground caverns with brave Princess Irene, who saved her father’s kingdom from the goblin invasion, or else climb aboard a rude raft floating with the current down the mighty Mississippi River with a mischievous boy named Huck Finn and a runaway slave named Jim. She traversed an ocean of prairie in a cramped covered wagon with her friend Laura, a bright pigtailed girl nicknamed “half-pint” by her Pa, or tag along with the four Pevensie children hunkered at the back of an old dusty wardrobe to escape the wrath of the McCready only to find themselves in a wonderous world of talking animals.
About The Book
“Flight of Fancy” is a heartwarming and whimsical adventure that follows Milo, a content little frog living a peaceful life on his beloved pond. But when his mischievous friend Jack the crow invites him to explore the world beyond the cattails, Milo hesitantly agrees — setting off on the adventure of a lifetime.
Their journey takes them soaring over treetops into the bustling chaos of a big city, where Milo encounters fascinating sights and unexpected dangers. From dodging stampeding crowds to escaping curious children and prowling cats, Milo faces challenges that test his courage and wits. All the while, Jack’s playful nature gets them into more than a few sticky situations.
As Milo longs for the comfort and safety of his home, he learns that while adventure can be thrilling, there truly is no place like home. With humor, charm, and a touch of old-fashioned storytelling, Flight of Fancy captures the timeless themes of friendship, bravery, and the magic of simple joys.
Perfect for readers who love imaginative tales and gentle life lessons, Flight of Fancy reminds us all that sometimes the greatest journey is the one that brings us back to where we belong.
