The story of the Wright Brothers : a biography book for new readers / written by Annette Whipple ; illustrated by Alessandra Santelli.
The Wright brothers were the first people ever to build and fly an airplane, doing what many people at the time didn't think was possible.

They fell in love with the idea of flying and taught themselves everything they needed to know to make their dream come true.
