The Fabulous Flying Machines of Alberto Santos-Dumont
by Victoria Griffith (Author) and Eva Montanari (Illustrator)
Booktalk: Alberto loved floating over Paris in his personal flying machine called a dirigible. He would tie it to a post, climb down, and spend the day shopping or meeting friends for coffee. But he wanted to make his invention even better.
Snippet: A crowd gathered around, excited to see the handsome Brazilian in person. “One day you’ll all have a flying machine!” he called out.
