Winner of the Orbis Pictus Award for Nonfiction and Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year.

Flight. Loneliness. Fear. Danger. Courage. Charles Lindbergh considered all these things and more when he set out for Paris on the morning of May 20, 1927, with only two compasses and the stars for his guides. Experience all the drama of Lindbergh's history-making flight with startling intimacy as you travel along with the first pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic, and follow the courage and endurance of one man who dared to make his dream come true.

"(A) glorious re-creation of an epic adventure."--Publishers Weekly
"Brings new life to one of the stories of the century."--Kirkus Reviews

About the Author:
Robert Burleigh has published poems, reviews, essays, many filmstrips and videos, and more than 40 children's picture books. Born and raised in Chicago, he graduated from DePauw University (Greencastle, Indiana) and later received an MA in humanities from the University of Chicago. His  books - including numerous unpublished ones! - run a broad gamut, from stories geared for pre-schoolers to survival stories and biographies aimed at seven to eleven-year-olds.
From Kirkus Reviews:
Even the awkward style here (a choppy, breathless tone is exacerbated by the relentless use of fragments and single- sentence paragraphs) conveys the excitement of Lindbergh's historic flight at the age of 25, but Wimmer's double-spread paintings steal the show: from the first glimpse of the aircraft through an arch formed by the pilot's determined-looking legs, they capture the feel of the cabin, the beauty of sea and sky, the drama of the nighttime arrival--all in impressionistic paintings peopled with realistic portraits, most notably of the weary hero appealingly sprawled in sleep on the last page. A book that brings new life to one of the stories of the century. (Nonfiction/Picture book. 4-11) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
