Editor's Notes
Not every book relies equally on every element, only those relevant to the book Must be self-contained (not dependent on other media for enjoyment) Nor presented for didactic intent or for popularity.
Almost Astronauts - Tells the story of the women aviators and aspiring astronauts known as the “Mercury 13,” who in the early 1960’s repeatedly proved themselves capable but could not overcome prevailing prejudices.
The Day-Glo Brothers- brothers who had great imaginations and loved to experiment, they invented the bright colors that have saved lives and changed advertising. Moonshot – large format picture book that tells the story of the first lunar landing. Claudette Colvin –9 months before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on that Montgomery bus, Claudette Corbin did the same but was shunned. A year later she dared to challenge segregation again as a key plaintiff in Browder v. Gayle , the landmark case that struck down the segregation laws of Montgomery and swept away the legal underpinnings of the Jim Crow South
