In the Air

For much of human history, people could only dream of flying machines that would allow them to travel through the air. But now not only do we have airplanes that take us into the clouds, but we also have rockets that shoot us into space! This exciting transportation transformation is presented to readers through accessible text that reinforces social studies and STEM topics. As early learners trace the history of air travel, they are invited to compare and contrast modes of transportation throughout history and think critically about the future of transportation.
