Soar, Elinor!
by Tami Lewis Brown (Author) and Francois Roca (Illustrator)
Booktalk: In this biography, a young girl learns to fly…becomes the youngest licensed pilot in the United States!
Snippet:
In 1917, some girls played with their dolls. They played house and hopscotch, jump rope and jacks.
But one little girl wanted more. Elinor Smith was born to soar.

Anastasia, thank you for filling in to host Nonfiction Monday today! My first entry did not have the specific URL, too early in the morning I guess! Entry 2 is the correct one, thank you!

This is a great new book with corresponding activities, including a game, word search, etc. I plan on featuring this book in my women’s history month program. It’s amazing that we’d never heard of this talented young aviator before!

I haven’t read Soar, Elinor! yet, but it is good to know that young Elinor was being a great role model for girls almost a 100 years ago! Thanks for hosting today…

Thanks for hosting Non-Fiction Monday this week. Soar Elinor looks interesting, though I know deep down inside I would never let my daughter do this when she was a teenager.

Thanks for hosting.
My selection is “Bone Detective: the story of forensic anthropologist Diane France” by Lorraine Jean Hopping.

Great minds obviously think alike! I also did Soar Elinor, along with what looks like at least one other person. Happy Women’s History Month!
