pick4 ⭐This book chronicles Sophie Blanchard, the first woman to go solo in a hot air balloon. She was one of the first female aeronauts. Little is known of her life before marrying Jean Pierre Blanchard, a famous aerialist of the time. This is a great beginning look at woman who dared to do what many thought only men could do. Finding out that Sophie died so young, due to a fire and a fall from her balloon, is heartbreaking but also real.
She felt the air turn crisp and cold, like the first taste of fall.
A good read that makes you fell like you are a part of the story.
pickBiography. This book tells the story of the first woman pilot Sophie Blanchard. With gorgeous watercolor and ink illustrations and descriptive writing you really feel like you take to the skies with Sophie.
she watched the earth slowly fall away
so-soThis book can be very inspiring for children. The exposure of languages is great but makes difficulties for children to read independently.
“ she said it had been a pleasant nap” I love this quote because it was a very long and dangerous adventure, and she is humbled to say it was a pleasant nap.
A biography, a little harder read since the life / time period is outdated and hard for kids to relate to. But it is inspiring for girls
so-soA biography novel about the first female pilot! It inspires girls to be passionate and work for your dreams.
