I'll Fly My Own Plane

The third book in the "Joe Joe in the City" series, I'll Fly My Own Plane is a children's picturebook about a serious urban issue affecting families everywhere today. The young African-American boy Joe Joe is offered an illegal way to make quick money to buy an fancy airplane by drug dealers, but in the end Joe Joe comes to realize that it is better to work at an ethical, if less lucrative honest job and fly the simiple plane his own father made for him. A very highly recommended picturebook narrative written by jean Alicia Elster and illustrated by Nicole Tadgell, I'll Fly My Own Plane capably addresses an all too real pressure affecting young inner city children exposed to drug use and drug sales in urban environments today.
