(4) K-3 Illustrated by Yvonne Buchanan. This picture-book biography of Bessie Coleman, the American who became the world's first black female aviator in the 1920s, has plenty of spirit, though the text seems overlong in spots and includes fictional dialogue. The watercolor illustrations, anchored by rounded brown pen lines, have a staged, stylized quality that is surprisingly pleasing. Bib.
