(3) K-3 Illustrated by Catherine Stock. In this enthusiastic biography, Whitaker celebrates the life of the audacious Harriet Quimby, the first woman in the United States to earn a pilot's license. Stock's lively watercolor and pencil illustrations display the spirit of Quimby and her era. Some facts about this groundbreaking figure are left for the author's note (e.g., she was also one of the first female scriptwriters). Timeline, websites. Bib.
