I have always loved colorful, animated picture books, and was drawn to them, which made me want to try making my own.
When I was thinking of a theme for my story, I thought of my family. I grew up in Jamaica with my father, mother, older sister, and our pet dog. After graduating from college, my sister moved to Qatar to work as a flight attendant. Every time she left or arrived safely, she would message us in our family group chat. We loved hearing about her flights and the countries she visited.
My sister has traveled to every continent except Antarctica. I had an idea to create a picture book based on her experiences that would teach children the importance of curiosity and dreams. When I told my sister about the idea, she readily agreed.
Also, our pet Reese has spent all his time in Jamaica, and I thought it would be a great idea to include him in the story and have him join his sister on her adventures around the world.

A few weeks later, with the help of AI, I created the characters April and her loyal pet Reese, and I'm very proud of my work.
This picture book tells the story of April, a curious Jamaican girl who goes on a heartwarming adventure through the sky. The story begins in Jamaica, where April dreams of airplanes and faraway countries. One day, she receives a special invitation and travels to Qatar.

Accompanied by her loyal Shih Tzu Reese, April will experience the magic of the aviation industry: meeting friendly flight attendants, trying on miniature uniforms and even helping welcome passengers on huge planes!
April and the Giant Plane is a charming story that celebrates the power of curiosity, the joy of travel, and the special bond between a girl and her dog.

Perfect for adventurous young readers, from toddlers to teens, this book contains:
Vibrant illustrations bring the story to life
A heartwarming message about the importance of chasing your dreams
A fun and educational way to learn about airplanes
