CASTROVILLE, Texas, Jan. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Airshow, published by Black Rose Writing, is Mark Hewitt’s debut entry into children’s literature, a big change from his normal fare of writing fast-paced thrillers. The book was the 1st Place Winner for its genre in the 2018 PenCraft Awards for Literary Excellence. “AIRSHOW!” is a book for young children. The many illustrations and simple dialog should make it easy to capture the attention of children with even the shortest of attention spans. Its dialog is written with the goal that a 5-year-old should easily be able to understand it. At just 34 pages, it is an easy and fun book for mom or dad to read to their children.

Michael Janay, an in-school reading volunteer for Virginia school stated, “I’ve read a lot of books just “one time” to third and fourth graders but when I read AIRSHOW! they made me reread it three and four times! Children who haven’t been exposed to aviation or airplanes get excited and cannot get enough of AIRSHOW!”

Nikki Mate’s intricate and colorful illustrations provide views of over 34 different military and civilian aircraft. Hewitt explains the differences between the various types of aircraft in terms that young children can easily comprehend. With all of the different types of aircraft shown, there is a new discovery with each turn of the page. Hewitt has his young protagonist meeting the pilots of several of the aircraft at the show.

Both Mark Hewitt and Nikki Mate are military pilots and flew some of America’s most sophisticated military aircraft. AIRSHOW! was published October 17, 2017, by Black Rose Writing of Castroville, TX. It is available directly from the Publisher, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other books stores in Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and the United States.
