One Fine Day
By Elizabeth Van Steenwyk
Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth

On December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers changed the world when they first flew their homemade powered airplane at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In One Fine Day, author Elizabeth Van Steenwyk celebrates that first flight in the form of an old-time radio play, beautifully illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. The brotherly banter of the dialogue captures the character of Wilbur and Orville Wright and the excitement of their accomplishment, while offering young readers an opportunity to reenact the drama of that important day.
