Special North
A child at a dusk window, chin on hands, a picture book on the desk, Pip landing on the sill
Sunny waving at the factory entrance, Cleo behind her, an aircraft nose in the open hangar door
Inside the hangar, Sunny and Cleo in hard hats under a white airliner on stands, Pip flying ahead
A giant white engine fan filling the frame, Sunny tiny at its foot, Pip tumbling in the air
Sunny walking along the wing of an airliner above the clouds, Cleo behind, Pip riding the wind
The flight deck from behind, Sunny at the yoke, Cleo beside her, dawn through the windscreen
A formation of white airliners stretching to the horizon at dawn, every cockpit lit

Sunny and the Sky Squad

  1. 01 / 07The window

    Every child looks up.

  2. 02 / 07The page

    Most never see what's behind the door.

  3. 03 / 07The hangar

    So we take them inside.

  4. 04 / 07The engine

    How fast does a jet turbine spin?

  5. 05 / 07The wing

    Where does the fuel come from?

  6. 06 / 07The flight deck

    Show them.

  7. 07 / 07The formation

    They'll fly.

Aviation storybooks and a coming animated series that plant the seed of flight in children aged four to nine.

Someone has to go first.

Every child needs one person who has been through the door. Most children have none. So we drew three.

Pick a door.

Six ways into the same world. Each one opens on something a child could not otherwise see.

Looking into the core of a jet engine

Age

by which most children have decided what they might become. Their answers barely change by seventeen.

You can't want to be what you've never seen.

If nobody they know flies, fixes or builds aircraft, aviation is not on the list. We put it there: nine picture books, an animated series, an app and kits that put Sunny, Cleo and Pip in a child's hands.

Any of those tails could carry your name.

Twenty years from now, an engineer will remember the first book that took her inside a hangar. Put your name on it.
