Wonderful, empowering story includes actual facts of the meeting in the back of the book.
Hmmm, a flight in April ,1933 with these 2 ladies was real, per the photo, probably the solo flight (or shared flight) was not.
This book was wonderful. The pencil art done by Brian Selznick was fabulous! Especially the landscapes! In fact, there are a couple I could see doing as full-wall murals. (The clouds/airplane or the cherry blossoms in D.C.) I looked him up but didn't see anything else in this style, but was surprised to learn we own several other books he's illustrated. I highly recommend this book. The story is pleasant and it makes two very famous, influential women seem approachable but the art definitely makes it worth a look IMHO.
unknown binding=paperback. This is not a hardcover book.
