| Abstract | Taking readers back to the 1850s, this high-flying STEAM picture book introduces Mary Myers, aka "Carlotta," an aeronaut and inventor whose daring flights and careful scientific work improved hot air balloons and our understanding of flight, weather patterns and the atmosphere. |
| Abstract | "Mary Myers always dreamed of flying, but she lived when women were often told to stay put and stay quiet. Determined and fearless, Mary wouldn't stay tied down. With the help of her husband, she transformed into Carlotta, the famous aeronaut, and took to the skies. Carlotta performed much more than aerial feats in her gas balloons. A skybound scientist, she collected information on currents, weather, and atmospheric pressure."--Front jacket flap. |
