What readers are saying:
TANG Book 1, "Flying Newborn Baby"
"‘Flying Newborn Baby’ moved me to tears. It's thoughtful, touching, and vulnerable in a way that's hard for me to capture in words. It's a simple, yet meaningful, story for children which invites deep thinking and discussion with adults about life experiences common to us all like imagination, personal identity, mortality, and suffering. I look forward to reading more in this book series about where Nate's adventures take him, and what he may teach us - both children and adults - about our own humanity in his youthful imagination and innocence.”
-Peter Beaman, RN
“This is a delightfully sweet and tender first adventure for Nate who flies far away as a newborn to visit his ailing Grandpa - one being born into the world and one departing it. "Flying Newborn Baby" leaves me asking, ‘What's next for this joyful, little boy?’"
- Karla Austin, Children's Social Worker
“Unique in style and substance, Book 1 in The Adventures of Nate the Great tells the real life experience of a newborn who, by his nature and place in the world, becomes the heroic center of a loving family - written with genius by the author through the keen observations and perspective of the protagonist. “Flying Newborn Baby” is a story with morale that everyone can relate to, children and adults alike. It’s an age-appropriate, classic tale of sadness and greatness (ending in happiness) which I highly recommend.”
- Robert S., Parent
"In my opinion, the book was inspiring and shows happiness and love and all babies are special in their own way.”
- Kylie, Age 9
"What I like about book 1 is how I imagined Nate flying in a bed with wings."
- Robert
