Fly High!  The Story of Bessie Coleman

by Louise Borden and Mary Kay Kroeger

Bessie Coleman dreams of flying an airplane, but could this be anything more than a dream?  After all, no other African American had ever been given a pilot’s license before 1921!  What would happen if she dared to step forward and say, “I can do it...no matter what!”  Can she conquer this giant named “It’s Never Been Done” and earn her wings?**
