Born to Fly
curriculum and wordless book

Published by The Born2Fly Project
to stop child trafficking

Storyline by Diana Scimone
Illustrations by Leah Wiedemer
Curriculum by Diana Scimone, Karen Armistead, and Georgia Ana Larson
Design by Cathleen Kwas


Each year more than 1 million children all over the world are sold into slavery. What if we could reach kids, parents, and teachers before the traffickers do?

That's the goal of The Born2Fly Project. B2F educates at-risk children and their parents about the dangers of child trafficking through a strategic 6-week community campaign that includes a 70-page curriculum and 80-page wordless book (wordless so that it doesn't have to be translated into hundreds of languages).

The B2F educational materials are being test-taught in the Dominican Republic, Bulgaria, Thailand, and the Philippines this spring and summer. Once B2F receives feedback from teachers and students, the organization will begin distributing the wordless books and curriculum all over the world. You will be able to purchase copies, also.

This curriculum and wordless book are published by The Born2Fly Project to stop child trafficking and 100% of proceeds goes to B2F to further their work around the world.
