Sophie and the Airplane |
Intro to Aerospace2017 New Apple Award Winner
2018 Book Excellence Award Winner In our first book on aerospace, readers will meet Sophie, the spunky, charismatic little girl who doesn't take no for an answer. Along her journey, Sophie introduces young girls to the field of aerospace - and its amazing wonders yet to be discovered. Readers will also enjoy meeting a real aerospace engineer at the end of the story, and learning more about her exciting career. |
"Sophie and the Airplane was such an adorable story about a little girl with a passion for airplanes and a dream to go to the moon! I liked that the team at STEM Girls Books included real commercial flight facts in their story so that readers could learn as well as enjoy the adventure. It was a joy to get to know more about how a child's love of planes and space could lead to STEM careers, and to learn more about Julia, a real life Aerospace Engineer."
