Touching the Sky: The Flying Adventures of Wilbur and Orville Wright

64 pp. | McElderry | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-84876-5 $$18.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter Fiore. Graceful narration in free verse conveys both historical details and the excitement of two of the Wright brothers' significant public demonstrations in 1909: Wilbur's flights at the Hudson-Fulton Celebration in New York City and Orville's in Germany. Colorful, slightly impressionistic illustrations clarify the text, which never loses trajectory though its details range from family relationships to a crown prince passenger. Epilogue, maps, timeline.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
