* Penned by a scientist, the text benefits from the clear explanations and facts, lending credibility to the amazing feat. * Fun, rhyming story that has a repeated refrain, encouraging reading along. Accompanied by charming, detailed illustrations. * Great reviews already: "Niraj is a gifted writer of childrens stories. His latest story, about an emu that wanted to fly, brings real depth of science to a lovely story. This is Isaac Newtons story of the apple falling on his head rewritten - great for all ages!" - Sir Richard Friend, FRS, Cavendish Professor of Physics, University of Cambridge and "Simply stunning... such a joy to listen to." - Deborah Leavitt, Manager of ABC Radio National.
