Wind Flyers | Angela Johnson
4 posts | 2 read
All he ever wanted to do was fly. Three-time Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Angela Johnson and New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long invite readers to ponder a band of undercelebrated World War II heroes -- the Tuskegee Airmen. With fleeting prose and transcendent imagery, this book by the masterful author/artist duo reveals how a boy's love of flight takes him on a journey from the dusty dirt roads of Alabama to the war-torn skies of Europe and into the hearts of those who are only now beginning to understand the part these brave souls played in the history of America.

#GetMovin Day 2: These picturebook biographies feature remarkable people of colour who have definitely covered #HigherGround as they soar into the skies and make a huge difference in aviation, war defense (as seen in tagged book), in spite of (and maybe even because of) the marginalization and outright prejudice and discrimination they experienced on their way to soaring to great heights, ultimately bringing honour to their country.

Cinfhen Love these picture books😍such a fun interpretation 7y
