Where do the airplanes go?

Immediate boarding
for a destination…surprise!
Only luggage allowed: imagination and joy

In this sturdy board book for very young children, we set off on a journey through a variety of landscapes, with airplanes of all kinds and their very specific cargoes. One carries water, another seeds and confetti, another flowers, and yet another cotton candy. 

But where are the airplanes going?

To the gardener’s!

Why?

Shh!

To secretly grow an enchanted garden for… the children of the neighbourhood.

Spirit of the book

After her first book Where Do the Trucks Go?, published in March 2025, Sophie Puls returns with a book full of airplanes — gender-neutral, playful, and poetic. With a rhythm reminiscent of a riddle-like nursery rhyme, it celebrates joyful diversity and boundless imagination, all while highlighting the creation of a shared, festive project.

Cleared for takeoff!
