Written by Angela Johnson [Ohio] & illustrated by Loren Long [Ohio]

A boy's love of flight takes him on a journey from the dusty dirt roads of Alabama to the war-torn skies of Europe. Introduces young readers to the contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II. 32 pages

"Johnson’s young narrator tells the story of his great-great-uncle who so loved to fly that with 'his arms flapping, he jumped off a chicken coop when he was five,' went up with a barnstormer when he was 11 and went on to become a Tuskegee wind flyer in the war. This will no doubt inspire important conversations about history and race, but the heart of the piece has to do with the universal desire to follow our passions, overcome obstacles and realize our dreams." -Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review (Ages 4-8)
