About the book
When Fred Carmichael was twelve years old, he saw a plane up close for the first time when it dropped off supplies in his remote community. With that one look, he was hooked. Fred spent 60 years as a pilot, doing everything from supply runs to search and rescue to transporting dog teams to far-flung areas. This book celebrates Fred's early dreams of flying and the things he later accomplished. Readers move with Fred through the year, with each month highlighting a moment on Fred's journey as a pilot. Art from Indigenous painter Audrea Wulf perfectly captures the incredible beauty of the North as well as Fred's love for aviation.
