I'm a huge fan of the musical Come From Away, so I was very excited to come across this book in the library from the real person upon whom one of the musical's characters is based. It's intended for children, so we get a nice, simple message of how determination and hard work is needed to achieve one's dreams, especially when you are a woman breaking into a profession dominated by men. It was an odd choice though to tell this autobiographical story in the third person. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"The groundbreaking female pilot featured in the hit Broadway musical Come from Away tells her story in this high-flying and inspiring picture-book autobiography! When Beverley Bass was a young girl in the late 1950s, she told her parents she wanted to fly planes--and they told her that girls couldn't be pilots. Still, they encouraged her, and brought her to a nearby airport to watch the planes take off and land. After decades of refusing to take no for an answer, in 1986 Beverley became the first female pilot promoted to captain by American Airlines and led the first all-female crewed flight shortly thereafter. Her revolutionary career became even more newsworthy when she was forced to land in the remote town of Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001, due to US airspace closures. After several days there, she flew her crew and passengers safely home."--Amazon. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
