(3) K-3 Illustrated by Loren Long. This story, written in poetic prose, is about one young African American man who wants to fly "into the wind, against the wind, beyond the wind." He defies racial prejudice and accomplishes his goal when he becomes a Tuskegee Airman. Muted acrylic illustrations display the changing moods--from wistful to somber to triumphant--of this heroic saga.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
