This book, by Nikki Grimes, is about Bessie Coleman, the 10th child born in her family of 13 children! Bessie's mom worked across the street. Bessie's sister became the 2nd mom. Even though she was poor and black, Bessie's dream came true of being a co-pilot, with William D. Wills. Suddenly the plane crashed throwing Bessie to her death, with William at her side. The crash remains a mystery. Bessie, a 34-year-old woman, died as her dream came true.
