Pilot of Historic Flight Releases Coloring Book for Kids Into Aviation

Pilot and author Robert DeLaurentis, (the "Zen Pilot") flew a record-breaking circumnavigation of the globe in a Piper Malibu, is now planning a pole-to-pole circumnavigation of the globe in a modified Turbo Commander in January 2019. He has authored several books and DVDs, but has just released his first coloring book just in time for the holidays.

This aviation coloring book is available in time for holiday gifting, and is designed to be a memorable gift to help families interested in fun ways to learn STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) topics together.

Coloring is a very popular activity for kids and adults, and the Citizen of the World Coloring Book was designed to be enjoyed by families and groups with kids of different ages. It will start conversations between children, teenagers and grown-ups, and give everyone a relaxing activity to share over the holidays.

DeLaurentis says the Citizen of the World Coloring Book is a great choice because: It accommodates a wide range of ages; the youngest kids will enjoy the simplest pages, and there are activities and questions to challenge even the adults in a group; it has a variety of topics such as aviation, geography, civics, sociology or art, and both kids and adults will discover engrossing topics.

The pages are very high-quality. Finished work will be suitable for framing. Family members can sign their work and frame it as a memento of the family time together.

It’s an inspiration, DeLaurentis says. Experts say the best thing people can do for their kids is to inspire them. Talking about the Citizen of the World mission, and Robert DeLaurentis and his reasons for undertaking this mission, will inspire the kids (and gown-up folks) in anyone's life to think about their own missions, and maybe taking some steps toward accomplishing their dreams in the New Year.

A coloring contest will run through December 14, and a free page to color for the contest is available for download from the FlyingThruLife Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/flyingthrulife.

The coloring book can be purchased to send with holiday cards, stuff stockings, and add to holiday gifts. Each book is $19.99, volume discounts for classes, groups and large families are available from the DeLaurentis Foundation Shop. Each purchase supports the ongoing mission of the DeLaurentis Foundation.
