About this title

Synopsis

An inspirational fable about the importance of thinking creatively and independently follows the story of a sixth-grade teacher who arranges a paper airplane competition, one student's trust in the original thinking of a classmate, and the class clown's winning idea.

About the Author

Michael McMillan has a well-deserved reputation for creative thinking and delivering innovative results. Shortly after college, Michael founded a visual communications firm that soon attracted an international client list that read like the Who's Who of Business. Fortune 500 corporations, small entrepreneurial businesses, sports and music legends, non-profit organizations, educators, and institutions have sought Michael's creative input, expertise and guidance to deliver effective branding, imaging and visual communications solutions with award-winning results.

In addition to corporate clients, his creative direction on Michael Jordan's New York Times best-selling pictorial autobiography, Rare Air, served to establish a new standard and niche in retail publishing. Michael followed this success with several more award-winning coffee-table books including Mario Andretti, The NBA at 50 and John Deere's Genuine Values.

After twenty successful years, Michael decided to sell his firm and pursue new challenges, such as public speaking, writing, directing and several other areas of interest. In addition to Paper Airplane: A Lesson for Flying Outside the Box, Michael has collaborated with Mac Anderson, founder of Successories and Simple Truths, to create a gift book, The Race, based on a poem stressing the importance of never giving up.

Michael also worked with Ken Blanchard and Barbara Glanz to produce Johnny the Bagger: The Simple Truths of Service, a moving book relating the importance of customer service that comes from the heart. Within the first three months of its release, the online video Michael created to promote the book has been watched by over two million viewers.

Most recently, Michael coauthored The Power of Teamwork with former Blue Angels pilot, Scott Beare. This compelling book explores the essence of teamwork and reinforces eleven key principles embraced by the Blue Angels.

Michael McMillan's breadth of knowledge and experience, combined with his story-telling ability, connects with audiences of all ages, leaving them both motivated and committed to embrace a future of endless possibilities.
