  “A truly inspiring read.” —Booklist (starred review)“A solid account of women’s contributions as aviators during World War II.” —Kirkus ReviewsIn the tradition of Hidden Figures, debut author Patricia Pearson offers a beautifully written account of the remarkable but often forgotten group of female fighter pilots who answered their country’s call in its time of need during World War II.At the height of World War II, the US Army Airforce faced a desperate need for skilled pilots—but only men were allowed in military airplanes, even if the expert pilots who were training them to fly were women. Through grit and pure determination, 1,100 of these female pilots—who had to prove their worth time and time again—were finally allowed to ferry planes from factories to bases, to tow targets for live ammunition artillery training, to test repaired planes and new equipment, and more.Though the Women Airforce Service Pilots lived on military bases, trained as military pilots, wore uniforms, marched in review, and sometimes died violently in the line of duty, they were civilian employees and received less pay than men doing the same jobs and no military benefits, not even for burials.Their story is one of patriotism, the power of positive attitudes, the love of flying, and the willingness to serve others with no concern for personal gain.

  Join Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and the angels as they celebrate the birth of Jesus. This softy-illustrated book teaches young readers about Jesus' birth and the real meaning of Christmas. “Happy Birthday, Jesus! We celebrate Your birth in the town of Bethlehem when You came down to earth. Your mother, Mary, held you. A manger was Your bed. The cows and sheep were quiet as she gently kissed Your head. Your father, Joseph, marveled. He knew You were the One. For God had sent a Savior—His one and only Son.  The shepherds had been watching their flocks that quiet night. When an angel appeared, they were terrified with fright. ‘Do not be afraid. For I bring to you good news: Today a Savior has been born!' And then the shepherds knew. Happy Birthday, Jesus! We give You all the praise.  We celebrate Your birthday on this glorious Christmas day.”  Rhyming text coupled with gorgeous artwork will make this story a family favorite. Other titles in the Sing-A-Story series include: The Best Thing About Christmas, The Gift, and The Friendly Beasts.
