Description
Wilbur and Orville Wright, inventors of the airplane, are the heroes of this picture book biography--part of the New York Times bestselling series that inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum.

Orville and Wilbur Wright always loved figuring out how things work, and from the day they received a toy wind-up helicopter as kids, they were especially focused on solving the puzzle of flight. Eventually, that curiosity--combined with lots of hard work--led to an invention that changed the world: In 1903, the Wright Brothers created the world's very first successful airplane.

Complete with comprehensive, age-appropriate text and quirky illustrations, this picture book biography of The Wright Brothers is the perfect way for young readers to learn all about two of the greatest inventors of our time.

This friendly, fun biography series encourages kids to dream big by building character, kindness, and compassion--one great role model at a time. Included in each book are:

  • A timeline of key events in the hero's history
  • Photos that bring the story more fully to life
  • Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable
  • Childhood moments that influenced the heroes
  • Facts that make great conversation-starters
  • A virtue these heroes embody: This book highlights the Wright Brothers' determination and perseverance.
