What if the sky was just the beginning? Look Mum I'm Flying is a spirited children's adventure story by Australian author John Pearce, brought to life with illustrations by Tony Raffy, that chronicles the exhilarating journey of a young protagonist who discovers the breathtaking freedom — and unexpected challenges — of flight. With a tone that balances wide-eyed wonder with gentle humour, the narrative captures the universal childhood fantasy of soaring above the world, making it an irresistible read for young adventurers. Published by Horwitz Publications, a respected Australian imprint with offices in London, Melbourne, and Sydney, this title sits within a tradition of accessible, imaginative children's storytelling that defined mid-twentieth-century Australian juvenile fiction. Pearce, also known for works such as How to Win Friends and Influence People in the youth fiction space, brings a warm, engaging voice that speaks directly to the curiosity and courage of young readers. Whether it is a dream, a contraption, or something altogether more magical that lifts the hero skyward, the answer — and the adventure — awaits within these pages.
