Here in the USA, we have been raised that the Wright brothers invented the airplane. However, in other parts of the world, it was Alberto Santos-Dumont who is credited with the invention of the airplane.
This was an entertaining and beautifully illustrated story about Santos-Dumont's adventure as the first man to take off in a plane using its own power (the Wright Brothers had assistance from others with their take off).
I really liked the mention of Cartier in the story as well.
This was a delightful story that taught my children and me something new.
