          An UPSIDE DOWN DREAMS story written for girls with big dreams looking for a real-world heroine.

          Lilly Padilly, an adventurous 8-year-old, finds herself drawn to the thrill of flight after seeing six fighter jets streak over her school. Facing skepticism from her peers and her own self-doubt, a heartwarming bond with her grandpa brings her to a pivotal moment in her life. Lilly’s uncertainty is banished after an inspirational encounter with one special pilot solidifies her dream.

          UPSIDE DOWN DREAMS

          Inspired by the firsthand interactions Michelle “MACE” Curran had with many girls during her time as a Thunderbird Pilot.
