Flyaway Boy

By: De Suza, Jane

In a quiet hill town full of order and straight lines, Kabir struggles to belong.

At school, he's too different. Teachers keep calling home to complain about his sketchy attendance and distracted behavior. At home, he's misunderstood. His family thinks he's always making up stories and that he should at least try to better himself. And one day, Kabir disappears, leaving his family and the adults around him scrambling to find him and, perhaps for the first time, truly see him.

Told with energy, humor, and deep empathy, Flyaway Boy is a celebration of imagination, individuality, and the courage it takes to be yourself even when the world doesn't understand the story you're desperately trying to tell. This isn't just a story about being lost; it's about what happens when a community begins to see a child for who they truly are. It's a reminder that if we don't start listening, supporting, and believing, we may lose them for good. It's about being found, on your own terms.
