Here we go.

Title: What Goes Up Must Come Down by Eleanor A. Peterson

After visiting DaVinci’s flying machines at the museum, Chiara decides to build her own.

Chiara seeks help from her friend at the circus.

They blow up helium balloons and off she goes.

Geese get in her way. Pop! Pop!

Luckily she lands on the circus safety net.

 

I’ve always been fascinated by Da Vinci. He must have been an alien. This story takes place in Italy. It’s a PB – WIP which I am trying to illustrate.

Happy writing everyone!

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.
