A Bug Travels Far:
Empowering LGBTQ+ Representation in Children's Literature
very child deserves to see themselves in a story.
A Bug Travels Far follows Ty Fly, a young transgender bug from Boston who is unexpectedly carried far from home after a difficult day of bullying and self-doubt. With an important Fly Ball game just days
away, Ty must navigate a world of adventure, friendship, and unexpected challenges as he races to find his way back home.
Created by transgender author Doren Cummings, this award-winning children's series uses humor, heart, and adventure to explore resilience, belonging, kindness, and acceptance. Through Ty's journey,
young readers discover that courage comes in many forms
and that everyone deserves a place where they belong.
Join Ty Fly's adventure and discover why sometimes
the longest journey is finding your way home.

Just as Ty Fly's journey is one of resilience, belonging, and hope, A Bug Travels Far is committed to supporting organizations that empower LGBTQ+ youth and work to prevent suicide through advocacy, education, and compassionate support.
