Toad the Tanker (Operation Aviation)

Toad is a KC-135 tanker, and he’s the most helpful plane in the sky! He shares his gas by refueling his friends in the air. Thanks to Toad and his giving nature, everyone stays airborne and accomplishes their missions.

Toad the Tanker is part of the Operation Aviation^™ series of rhyming military aircraft adventures, featuring anthropomorphic fighter jets and a supportive cast of aviation friends.

Available in English and Spanish (El Tanquecito). Ages 4 to 8.

About the Author

I’m an author, a pilot, and a mom.

My Operation Aviation picture books started as a simple passion project. I’m an Air Force C-17 Instructor Pilot and wanted to share the fun elements of military aviation with my two kids—to make my professional world accessible to a young, curious audience.
