Wind Flyers by Angela Johnson
All he ever wanted to do was fly. Three-time Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Angela Johnson and New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long invite readers to ponder a band of undercelebrated World War I heroes -- the Tuskegee Airmen. With fleeting prose and transcendent imagery, this book by the masterful author/artist duo reveals how 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 and into the hearts of those who are only now beginning to understand the part these brave souls played in the history of America.Angela Johnson is a children's and young adult author who has written a number of books. For her works Paradise, Toning the Sweep, and The First Part Last, she has earned three Coretta Scott King Awards, as well as the Michael L. Printz Award. For her picture book When I Am Old with You, she received a Coretta Scott King Honor and a Printz Award. Angela was designated a MacArthur Fellow in 2003 for her remarkable achievements. She currently resides in Kent, Ohio.
