A fourth grader at South Bay Elementary School in West Babylon and his father recently published a children’s book titled Blobby & Ant Become Friends. The story highlights how two people who are nothing alike can still become great friends by working together. It is recommended for kids age 4-7.

The younger Flynn is an active participant of the Town of Babylon Youth Bureau.
