A Great Lady. A novel. Translated by Mrs. M. B. Harrison.
Have you ever had your head in clouds and seen the world like a bird?
Perhaps you've looked out the window of an airplane and stared at the world below you. Or, maybe you've hiked to the top of a tall mountain and stopped to look around.
For over twenty years, debut children's picture book author Mike Brown (Mr. B) - as an aerial photographer -.has routinely had his head in the clouds while taking photos from a helicopter. He has been on thousands of photo flights, and to this day, there's not been one where he hasn't found himself in awe of the beauty below him.
Mr. B has seen cities being built, farms being grown, and trains chugging along. He has glided alongside whales migrating, dolphins jumping, wild horses stampeding, and red hawks soaring. He's fluttered over fields of wildflowers that are so vibrant they look like a watercolor painting - and hovered over Saguaros so mighty and tall they look like toy soldiers marching up a mountain.
In the second book of Mr. B's Great Adventures, the author shares his visits to airline terminals where he made friends with flight attendants and taxi drivers...but his best friend is always Mr. Helicopter! While in San Diego, Mr. B sees the ocean, dolphins, and parasails. He sees Downtown San Diego and his projects from high in the clouds. All the joy and the beauty this is in a day's work!
The author notes, "Head in the San Diego Clouds is another illustration of some of the most beautiful sights I've seen during my adventures - taking photographs from a helicopter. The world is beautiful when your head is in the clouds. This book is dedicated to my grandchildren...the most beautiful sight of all."
