New Children’s Book “Oh My! … I Can Fly!” Inspires Young Readers to Soar Beyond Limits

Toms River, New Jersey Jun 17, 2025 (Issuewire.com)  – Author Michele Gajdzis spreads her wings with the debut of her heartfelt children’s book, “Oh My! … I Can Fly! The Birdie Story”, a touching tale of love, courage, and discovering the strength to fly literally and figuratively. 

Written for children ages 4 to 7, this vibrant picture book follows Barry, a small bird trapped in a cage high atop a mountain. He dreams of flying but feels stuck without feathers, freedom, and hope. That is, until a few colorful and kindhearted birds arrive, each carrying more than just feathers. They bring gifts of hope, strength, and joy that Barry needs to take flight. 

What makes this story so powerful is that it’s deeply personal. Michele shares that Barry’s journey mirrors her struggles with feeling lost, limited by fear, and searching for something greater. “Barry is me,” she explains. “Wally is my brother, and Kenny is my younger brother. Harmony, the singing bird, is my sister. This isn’t just a story, it’s the life I lived, transformed into a message for little hearts to hear.” 

“Oh My! … I Can Fly!” isn’t just a bedtime story. It’s a call to action for every child who has ever felt “not enough.” It shows that even the impossible becomes possible with love and the right people beside you. 

This story stands out in a world where children are growing up with more emotional pressure and fewer moments of pause. It teaches kids about kindness, believing in themselves, and how the right words, like a song from a friend, can change everything. 

With its colorful illustrations and gentle storytelling, this book is already winning praise from parents, teachers, pastors, and young readers alike. Early readers call it “useful,” “encouraging,” and “beautifully simple.” 

As schools and parents continue to focus on emotional growth, “Oh My!… I Can Fly!” offers a powerful, relatable tool to spark meaningful conversations about fear, friendship, and finding your voice. 

Michele isn’t stopping with Barry’s story. Plans are already forming for an “Oh My” series, introducing characters like Bella the Bully and Hank the Hawk, each with their lessons to learn. 

“Oh My! … I Can Fly! The Birdie Story” will soon be available in print and digital formats. For release updates and events, stay tuned to Michele Gajdzis’s channels.
