Fly Away Home: A Tender Story About a Father and Son Living in an Airport for Kids (Ages 4-7) Review: Fly Away Home Review - The book "Fly Away Home," by Eve Bunting, is a very emotional book about a boy and his dad who live in an airport terminal. They make sure not to get noticed by the authorities. Throughout the book he mentions something that another family does wrong to get noticed and how it is important not to do these things. One family got noticed by being loud, one lady was noticed by being dirty, and another way to get noticed is by sitting together with other people who lived in the airport. They had to be on a tight schedule and know which places they stayed at. If they stayed at one place too long then they will be noticed. They would wash up in the bathrooms and sleep sitting up. His father would go on the bus to his job as a janitor and he would have to stay with the medina's which was another friendly family who stayed at the airport. The dad and son save their money to eventually get a place again like before his mother died. There is a very sad and emotional ending. This book is very good to use in any grade level as a read aloud. I was read this book in college and really enjoyed it, so it can be used on any level. You can really tie in a lot of different subjects to this book. This book can be a warm up for a lesson on culture, just as an example. This is useful when trying to find a picture book for a certain lesson. This book can be used as a warm up activity before the actual lesson to get the students excited and interested about the lesson. Review: Home means something different to everyone - A powerful well written story explaining what it is to be homeless. I have taught preschool thru 5 th grade and this story was always a must read aloud . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #150,676 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #43 in Children's Books on Homelessness & Poverty #749 in Children's Values Books #2,203 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (417) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 0.12 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | Grade level | Preschool - 3 | | ISBN-10 | 0395664152 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0395664155 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | March 22, 1993 | | Publisher | Clarion Books | | Reading age | 5 - 10 years, from customers | ## Images ![Fly Away Home: A Tender Story About a Father and Son Living in an Airport for Kids (Ages 4-7) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JQcAogogL.jpg) ![Fly Away Home: A Tender Story About a Father and Son Living in an Airport for Kids (Ages 4-7) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51S5eSaqcpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fly Away Home Review *by K***E on July 4, 2011* The book "Fly Away Home," by Eve Bunting, is a very emotional book about a boy and his dad who live in an airport terminal.

I have taught preschool thru 5 th grade and this story was always a must read aloud . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very enlightening story *by A***R on September 18, 2021* This is such a sweet and eye-opening book! I used this in my classroom to begin a conversation about homelessness— why some people are homeless and what we can do to help in a safe and appropriate way. This book is great for helping children and adults understand that homelessness is sometimes the result of events beyond a person’s control. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3512631-fly-away-home-a-tender-story-about-a-father-son](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3512631-fly-away-home-a-tender-story-about-a-father-son) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
