* "A beautiful account of a young woman who knew that all she needed to reach her dream was courage and a chance to try.""A great resource for STEM classrooms and readers interested in historical figures who paved the way for modern day pioneers."“Playful language with intermittent rhymes and repetition results in an enjoyable easy-to-read biography for young children of a little-known historical figure . . . De Acosta’s determination in making her dream come true serves as an inspiration to young girls: they can soar in whatever endeavor they choose to pursue.”“Writing in upbeat, intermittently rhyming verse, . . . Engle delivers a sweetly uplifting story about a girl who ‘only needed courage and a chance to try.’”"This story based on the life of a Latina air-and-space pioneer is a welcome addition to the growing list of picture-book biographies of women who defied expectations.”
