Diary of a Fly
By Doreen Cronin
The Story
A little fly who can already walk on walls, see in every direction, and fly keeps a diary of her big dream: becoming a full-fledged superhero, alongside best friends Worm and Spider.
Why It's Special
For the kid who's convinced they're secretly superpowered already, this gives their confidence a name and a diary to prove it.
- Big idea: Being small doesn't mean you can't dream enormous — the powers you already have might be more super than you realize.
- Vibes: Funny, buoyant, and matter-of-fact about the absurd, with a diary format that feels like it's letting kids in on a secret.
Perfect For Kids Who
- enjoy journal or diary-style storytelling
- like to imagine themselves with superpowers
- love bug and creepy-crawly humor
- respond well to stories told through a bug's-eye view of everyday life
