A Rare Review from Jeff Bezos
While Jeff Bezos has only written a handful of reviews on Amazon, he couldn’t resist reviewing The Fly Who Flew to Space. He praised it as “the best children’s book my fiancée has ever written,” giving it five stars with the title “Six stars.” Bezos, who is usually focused on his business ventures, took the time to highlight the book, which encourages children to pursue their dreams and stay curious. His review quickly gained attention due to his rarely expressed opinions on Amazon products.
A Story of Big Dreams
Lauren Sánchez’s book tells the story of Flynn, a young fly who struggles in school but dreams of traveling to space. Drawing inspiration from her own experiences as a pilot, Sánchez aimed to create a character who would encourage kids to think big and push beyond their limits. The book is available in both English and Spanish and has been praised for its positive message. Sánchez credits her fiancé, Bezos, for inspiring parts of the story, as his work with Blue Origin has sparked numerous space-related conversations at their dinner table.
Bezos’ Influence on the Book
Bezos, with his involvement in space exploration through Blue Origin, had a direct influence on the book’s theme. Sánchez describes how Bezos’s encouragement to “dream bigger” shaped the storyline of Flynn’s adventure into space. His passion for innovation and exploration has evidently found its way into the narrative, as the couple’s shared enthusiasm for space exploration is reflected in the book’s message. Bezos even makes a playful appearance as a fly on one of the pages.
Promoting the Book
Sánchez has been actively promoting her book with appearances at children’s bookstores and receiving support from celebrity friends like Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria. As the book continues to gain popularity, Sánchez hopes it will inspire children to reach for the stars, just as Flynn does in her story. The book’s themes of perseverance and dreaming big resonate with both parents and children alike.
This book highlights the power of dreaming big, a theme that resonates strongly with both children and adults. Jeff Bezos’ enthusiastic support for Lauren Sánchez’s work brings additional attention to its inspiring message. As more readers discover The Fly Who Flew to Space, its impact on encouraging young minds to reach for their goals is likely to grow.
