“When I don’t have cookies with my milk, it’s like a zoo without cages . . . a pizza without a crust . . . an airplane without wings!”
Little Henry knows that some things in life just make sense together—fries with ketchup, ice cream in a cone, a coloring book with crayons. One can never go without the other! Everyone knows that, right?
Well, perhaps not his mom! After school one day, she offers Henry a glass of milk . . . but he can’t drink it on its own. Follow along as Henry explains to his mother all the reasons why milk without cookies is just plain wrong!
Lorenzo Rodriguez taught and worked as a school administrator for twenty-nine years before retiring. While teaching primary grades, he would tell stories to his students. The ones they most loved and connected with, he decided to capture on paper. Years later, a friend discovered the first draft of An Airplane Without Wings on his desk. His friends and students loved the story so much that Lorenzo decided to publish it to share it with the world! Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, Lorenzo came to the U.S. in 1970 and now resides in California.
