CBC Showcase: Women's History Month and National Poetry Month
Soar along with Bessie Coleman, the first black woman in the world to earn a pilot's license, in this inspirational tale of a woman whose determination reached new heights.
by Nikki Grimes, illustrated by E. B. Lewis
"In a volume that looks like a picture book and reads like a series of closely related poems, Grimes offers a many-sided portrait of the first African American aviatrix, Bessie Coleman. . . . Although there have been other books about Coleman, this is a fine, original portrayal." —Booklist, starred review
