Below is a side by side comparison of the obvious "similarities" of Lauren Sanchez' book, A Fly Who Flew to Space (published September, 2024), which she announced her "inspiration to publish" shortly after she was pitched the concept of Alanna Zabel's book, Dharma Kitty Goes to Mars (published March, 2023). Left side DK = Dharma Kitty Goes to Mars, and Right side FLY = A Fly Who Flew to Space.

Who would steal a children's book concept and copyrighted story from their former yoga instructor?! And have the gull to engage in a national press tour, touting their "accomplishment"? Let's be honest, Lauren Sanchez' recent attempts to appear publicly philanthropic, caring about children and the environment, as well as feigning creative, are questionable to those who know her.
As a self-funded female entrepreneur who has poured tireless efforts into building my business, it is profoundly disheartening to imagine someone in a position of privilege and influence—who publicly advocates for social issues, equality, and women's empowerment— disregarding the dedication, creativity, and value of an individual who generously shared their ideas, innovations and projects.
More details and shocking evidence regarding this matter will follow - there are years of emails and texts with Lauren where Alanna pitched this specific story and book (as well as other projects), a signed declaration from her former manager, who was involved in (and aware of) prior conversations between Alanna and Lauren, and other clear illustrations of this shocking and clear act. Hopefully this mind-blowing, obvious infringement begins to reveal the truth about Lauren Sanchez' lies and deception, as well as her callous disregard for hardworking creatives. How can Jeff Bezos, who built his company from scratch, stand by and watch her knock off a hardworking, female entrepreneur?
