Sky High: The True Story of Maggie Gee

32 pp. | Tricycle | August, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58246-280-6 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carl Angel. Young Maggie Gee worshiped Amelia Earhart and aspired to become a pilot. In this picture book biography, a cheerful first-person narrative (with invented dialogue) follows Gee's maturation from young dreamer to one of two female Chinese American service pilots in WWII. Vivid acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations emphasize the power of determination. An author's note and archival photographs provide further information.
