Book Recommendation: Dear Flyary

Hi readers,

Looking for a great book to read this weekend? Check out Dear Flyary, written by Dianne Young and illustrated by John Martz.

This book is all about a one-eyed alien, named Frazzle, who likes to record his flying adventures in his journal. Frazzle loves his little Model 7 spaceship, but when it starts making strange sounds, he’s faced with a big decision: should he trade in his spaceship for a new one, or keep it? Zoom into this book to see what Frazzle decides!

You may recognize the name John Martz because he also illustrated the hilarious story, Somewhere Ogre the Rainbow in the March issue of chickaDEE! Turn to page 22 of the magazine to check it out.

Have a safe and happy weekend!

Book Recommendation: Isabella Makes a Difference

Hi readers,

Many chickaDEE readers have told me how much they love writing stories. Keep it up because you might just get published one day! Here’s a book called Isabella Makes a Difference, written by Sophia Colette Kofoed and illustrated by her sister, Kiara Lauren Kofoed.

Sophia wrote this book when she was only 6 years old. It’s a story about kids trying to make a difference in the world and not giving up, even if the task seems hard at first.

Isabella Makes a Difference has a great message and I think you should definitely check it out! The book has lots of fundraising ideas that you can check out with your parents, too. Visit the book’s website by clicking HERE for more information.

Talk to you soon,
