About this listen

Melody is an amusing 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome. She narrates her story of meeting an enchanted talking bird, and they use a 3-D printer to create a flying machine pulled by two dragons. She soars over the playground to amaze her friends and confront a group of bullies. Melody's energetic talent in storytelling empowers her to educate others about Down syndrome while sharing her tall tales and strong hugs.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Melody’s Magical Flying Machine by Elaine Ambrose features a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome and is a joyful, well-told story that celebrates the power of imagination. Melody is an engaging narrator whose cheerful affection, knack for happiness, and zestful imagination express themselves in every line. Zina’s pencil illustrations are beautifully textured and shaded, with a magical quality that deftly matches the text." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Melody is a delightful girl, small in stature, but with an outsized imagination - who also happens to live with Down syndrome. After a sad day, she becomes a brave warrior and takes on the class bully with help from a new friend and some flying dragons. As a mental health advocate and mother of four, including one child with autism spectrum disorder, I am so grateful for this story of strength, resilience, and joy. We need more voices like Melody’s!" (Liza Long, author, The Price of Silence: A Mom’s Perspective on Mental Illness)

"One of the primary missions of Family Advocates is to promote the health and well-being of every child and encourage children to reach their true potential by being safe, strong, and brave - just like Melody. This book highlights the positive fact that a child with special needs can dream, share, achieve goals, handle bullies, and contribute to the community." (Kathryn Seebold, Executive Director, Family Advocates)
