Paper Planes by Jim Helmore

Illustrated by Richard Jones

A beautifully illustrated story of connection and long-distance friendship, from the author-illustrator team behind the much-loved picture book The Snow Lion.

Mia and Ben are the very best of friends. They live side by side at the edge of a great, wide lake. They love making paper planes together and dream of making one that will fly all the way across the lake. But then Ben has news. 

Ben and his family will be moving far, far away. What will Mia do without Ben, now? And how can she stay best friends with Ben if he's not nearby? Mia isn't sure at first, but then she has a plan... 

Jim Helmore's moving, lyrical story blends with Richard Jones' captivating art for a sensitive exploration of emotions surrounding friendship, connection, and loss. Ideal for social emotional learning collections and for children experiencing separation.
