# On This Airplane - Hardcover

by **Lourdes Heuer** (Author), **Sara Palacios** (Illustrator)

**A story about coming to a new home and the diverse people you meet on an airplane. For fans of _Last Stop on Market Street_.**

On this airplane . . .

Someone travels solo,  
two travel as one,  
three return  
and four set out.

In this simple and moving book, a young family takes a plane to their new home. While onboard, they encounter all the people you meet on a plane: a bookworm, a businessperson, tourists, crying babies and daydreamers . . . all with their own stories and all heading somewhere special.
