As usual, I love your book about Bessie. My former husband’s aunt was also a pilot. She flew Amelia Earhart’s route. I believe she was the first woman pilot to do so. Wish I knew where her picture was.

I read it a while back, and I didn’t remember who had illustrated it. I’ve since heard E.B. Lewis speak at an SCBWI conference in Miami and agree you couldn’t have gotten a better illustrator. I look forward to reading Part II of Bessie’s story.

P.S. Have you read THE SECRET WORLD OF WALTER ANDERSON, which was also illustrated by E.B. Lewis? It’s fantastic too.
