“Imaginations will soar as young readers explore the lives of the Wright Brothers in this engaging book. Colorful illustrations and infographics supplement the text, and thoughtful questions invite further reflection.” –Lisa Amstutz, children’s author and editor
“A comprehensive view of two extraordinary inventors and self-taught engineers. This book is the perfect read for any child who loves adventure, learning how things work, or both!” –Rachelle Burk, award-winning author and educational speaker
“An entertaining, informative, and engaging story of the pioneers of aviation. A perfect blend of history and science. Question sidebars, a quiz, and a glossary make this an excellent classroom resource for elementary level students.” –Darlene Beck Jacobson, award-winning author of MG historical fiction novels Wheels Of Change (Creston 2014) and Wishes, Dares, and How The Stand Up to a Bully (Creston 2020)
“As a veteran elementary teacher with 36 years of experience, this book is a ‘teacher’s gemstone’–it has timelines throughout the book, maps, think tank questions for each chapter, vocabulary words in bold print, quotes from the Wright Brothers, colorful illustrations, glossary, quiz at the end of the book, discussion questions, and a family tree. Elementary teachers and students would LOVE this book with its thick cover and pages for durability.” –Susan Fletcher, 3rd grade teacher in North Carolina
