Guided by her fervor for aviation as a flight attendant, Filipino-American author Lia Ocampo continues her ascent to new creative heights with her latest venture, “We Love Flying: How to Inspire Kids to Follow Their Dreams to Fly.”

Drawing upon her firsthand experiences as a professional in the skies, Ocampo invites young readers to go on a high-flying journey that traverses the world of aviation and global exploration.

“We Love Flying is a perfect book for children to grow their love for flying and travel, and for adults to inspire children to follow their dreams and fly high,” Barnes & Noble wrote in its overview of the book.

Within the pages of “We Love Flying,” protagonists Drake and Shanel emerge as dream-weavers, with Drake harboring aspirations of donning the pilot’s cap and Shanel envisioning herself traveling the world.

The author’s mission extends to kindling excitement among young readers by encouraging an immersive experience through a coloring activity and a guessing game featuring world destinations.

In 2020, Ocampo’s literary endeavors extended to an inspirational book titled “What We Know for Sure: Inspirational Stories of Filipino Special Immigrants in America in the US and the Philippines,” demonstrating her commitment to sharing uplifting stories that resonate with a diverse audience.
