Lauren Sánchez Is Set To Begin A Tour For Her Book ‘The Fly Who Flew To Space’
In the coming weeks, Sánchez’s nightly routine with Bezos will be paused as she embarks on a book tour for her children’s book “The Fly Who Flew to Space.”
Sánchez, who shares 23-year-old Nikko Gonzales with retired football player Tony Gonzales and Evan and Ella with her ex-husband, top Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, admitted that she is “so thrilled my kids get to see me do this because they encouraged me to write this for years and I finally made it happen. The journey wasn’t easy, but I’m really excited for people to meet Flynn on the fly.”
The book tells the story of Flynn, a fly who struggles in school but dreams of becoming an astronaut.

“One of the themes is that everyone learns differently, and even if school is hard, it doesn’t mean that you’re not going to be able to chase your dreams,” Sánchez said.
Lauren Sanchez On How Her Dyslexia Influenced The Book
Sánchez has openly discussed her own battle with dyslexia, revealing how her world transformed after being diagnosed in college and learning “how to learn.”
The former news anchor relates this experience to her book, saying, “That’s really kind of the moral of the story. It’s okay, if you’re a little different, you’re going to be okay. This world is going to eventually take care of you if you just stay curious.”
Reflecting on her journey, she added, “Never in a million years did I think a dyslexic kid from Albuquerque would ever be an author.”

She Got The Idea For The Story While Flying With Her Kids
Sánchez shared that a real-life experience inspired the story in her children’s book.
“I was flying with my kids and a fly somehow got into the cockpit of the plane. My kids were like, ‘Oh no, this poor little fly is separated from his family!’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know, she gets to see the world from a completely different perspective,'” Sánchez recalled.
“So that sparked this fun story in my mind, that even the smallest among us can experience incredible adventures,” she added.
