The Littlest Airplane
by Brooke Hartman (Author) John Joseph (Illustrator)
A rhyming picture book about how sometimes it's not the biggest, strongest, or the fastest, but the littlest who can get the job done!
"Alaska Northwest Books wings into spring with... The Littlest Airplane by Brooke Hartman, illus. by John Joseph, in which a storm necessitates calling a mighty little bush plane to rescue people stuck on a mountain in the snow."--Publishers Weekly, Spring 2022 Children's Sneak Previews
At a landing strip in the far north, a little bush plane watches quietly as bigger, stronger, faster planes take off for adventure. But when a storm hits and hikers are stranded on the mountain, who will come to the rescue?
Told in rhyming verse with bright illustrations, The Littlest Airplane soars high with heart and excitement.

The story helps us realize that we all have strengths and weakness, but it is important not to let other people's expectations limit your potential. Believe in yourself and don't underestimate your own worth. With courage and determination, everyone could find their place to shine and succeed, which may in turn gives them more confidence and a sense of fulfillment.
