"This book is inspired by the story of Bessie Coleman, the first black woman to hold a pilot's license in the world. When Bessie was growing up, no one could have imagined that a girl from a humble family would get out of the cotton fields and become a pilot! But with the help of her best friend Bloony, Bessie used her courage and determination to make her dream come true! This is the very first fairy tale of the Queen Girls Collection - A collection of stories real women turned into fairy tales. Our mission is to inspire young girls to follow their dreams and envision them as possible! One for One, Book for Book - Every time you purchase a book, another will be donated to local and international organizations that are empowering girls and fighting illiteracy."--provided by Amazon.com.
