Soar Elinor by Tami Lewis Brown

Brown, Tami Lewis Soar Elinor. Illustrated by Francois Roca.  Farrar Straus Giroux, 2010, 40 pages.  Content: G. PICTURE BOOK.  What a great book! Beautiful pictures and good storytelling engross the reader.  Elinor was the youngest licensed pilot in the United States and made a name for herself among other pilots when it wasn’t popular for women to fly planes.  This book tells of a particular stunt that included her flying under four bridges in New York after being challenged by a male pilot.  This book is inspiring and good history about a woman who followed her dreams.  EL, MS - ESSENTIAL.  Reviewer:  C.
