Fly, Girl, Fly!: Shaesta Waiz Soars around the World

This wonderful book tells the story of Shaesta Waiz, who fled Afghanistan with her family and came to the US as a child. As she grew, her dreams grew along with her and she overcame many challenges to become the youngest woman in history to fly around the world in a single-engine plane, and the first woman from Afghanistan to do so. Pimm worked directly with Shaesta on her story, and tells the story with a clarity that will inspire young readers to follow their dreams. The illustrator has beautifully communicated the pluck and tenacity of Shaesta.

I love this book. It's an incredible story of a young refugee girl who has a dream to do great things, but is also shy and fearful. She does everything she can to conquer her fear and fulfill a dream of becoming a pilot. Once a pilot, she soon dreams to fly solo around the world. Shaesta Waiz is an inspiration to everyone and this book should be in every child's hand to show that hard work CAN make dreams come true.

Inspired by Amelia Earhart and Jerrie Mock, a young Shaesta Waiz dreamed of being a pilot. Follow her journey from a refugee camp to the skies over the Atlantic Ocean as she made her dreams come true and inspired youth along the way. Wonderfully written and boldly illustrated, this book will change lives!

The book is so well written and illustrated. I purchased one for each of my granddaughters and have read all of her books and was never disappointed . Shaesta’s story should provide courage to other young girls when pursuing their dreams.

Bought this for my 11 year old grand daughter and she absolutely loves it! Now she wants to be a pilot someday! Best book ever❤️

What a wonderful story that needed to be written!! What a empowering story written by the author! Every girl should get a copy! And every parent needs to share this with their child. Nancy Roe Pimm makes you believe the skies the limit!

We're an aviation family and even the little granddaughters are interested. They face-timed me when they opened the package and I got to hear my 7 yr old grand read the book to me cover to cover.

Wonderfully written + adorable! Every little girl out there should read this inspiring story and shoot for the stars!

This book tells the genuine story of the magnifient adventurer Shaesta Waiz, to whom I have the pleasure to know.
