Long before Emmy Award-winning journalist, pilot, and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez was a NY Times best-selling children’s book author, she was a little girl with big dreams. Growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, she looked to her father, a former flight instructor, and dreamed of one day becoming a pilot. Watching him ignited Lauren’s passion for aviation. After a long career in journalism, Lauren finally got her pilot’s license in her 40s—proving you are never too old to chase your dreams. Years later, Lauren can see her own kids looking to the sky with wonder. That experience as a mom, coupled with her love of storytelling and adventure, motivated Lauren to write The Fly Who Flew series. Lauren hopes this new adventure will inspire kids to follow their dreams and see that learning differences can be a superpower.
