Simon Scott'S Dream of Flying (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Simon Scott lives on a farm with his mother, father, brother and sister. At night he sometimes dreams of flying like a bird. In his dreams he can feel the wind through his hair as he soars above the treetops. His dreams are so much fun that he wishes he could really fly when he wakes up. He never tires of watching birds fly overhead, especially the big, strong eagles. Simon even tries to fly himself. He flaps his arms the way the birds flap their wings, but he never leaves the ground. As Simon grows older, he realizes he cannot fly with his arms, but he can build an airplane. Building an airplane is a lot of hard work, and Simon will need help to bring his dream of flying to life. Will Simons family be able to help him get off the ground, or are his dreams just too high up in the clouds?

He was a middle school teacher in the Detroit Public Schools before moving to Lansing in 1976 to work for the Michigan House of Representatives. For the next 38 years, he represented public institutions to the state legislature in the pursuit of setting good public policy for Michigan. He also worked for Gov. James Blanchard and the Michigan departments of transportation and education. During his time with the state, Bob fought for greater funding of Michigan's transportation infrastructure and tougher high school graduation standards, and promoted strong labor policies. In the 1990s, he was Assistant County Executive to County Executive Edward McNamara, where he was a key player in establishing the Wayne County Airport Authority Act. Bob ended his career as a policy advisor to the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments. He is retired and lives in Farmington Hills, Michigan, with his wife, Terry. He grew up in southeastern Michigan during the 1950s and 1960s at the knees of some of the greatest labor and political leaders in the state.
