THE FLYING GIRL : HOW AIDA DE ACOSTA LEARNED TO SOAR
New York : Atheneum Books, 2018
IL K-3, RL 4.4
ISBN 978-1-48144-502-3
Aida de Acosta saw the beautiful air ship flying in the sky in Paris and
decided that she wanted to learn to fly. In those days, women were not
supposed to do things like that. But she was determined. She convinced
the air ship's owner to teach her to fly. Alberto Santas-Dumont believed
that all she needed was courage and the chance to try. And that she
did. To the dismay of the women who saw her. They thought is shameful
for a woman to fly. But she had inspired many of the children that day.
As Aida say, "Sometimes all it takes to change the whole world is one
wild dreamer's soaring example."
