Herausgeber: Murphy, Elizabeth

Beschreibung

Did you know.....? <7% of pilots in North America are female. That means that if we seated 100 pilots on a plane then only 6 would be female and the remaining 94 would be male¿. Some countries are starting to close this gap. India has the highest number of female pilots at around 12% Meet Stella and Lizzy McFly: These two courageous females are about to take you on an adventure! Are you ready? This pilot and copilot team will teach you about airplanes and flight. Together you'll learn about radio communication, weather, and how to read some of the plane's instruments. You'll also get to experience some daring aerobatic stunts - an aileron roll and hammerhead. You'll learn a new alphabet - the radio alphabet; as well as the codes for some of the world's airports. There's even space for you to create your very own flight log. If you are interested in flight then this book is for you! Who knows.....maybe one day you'll become a pilot. Ready. Set. Let's go on another adventure!

Sheri has travelled extensively. She's been to Tasmania, southern Africa, Europe, and Asia. She's studied in Perth, Western Australia, and completed a study-abroad session in Jaipur, India. She also taught briefly in London and extensively in Montreal, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. There are still many places she'd love to go, and, since her daughter Stella's birth, she's accompanied her parents on many adventures. Stella has already lived several years in a remote village in the Canadian Arctic and spent time in Europe and Japan. Her mother's goal is to have her continue to travel with her and continue to co-write books about the places they visit so other children can experience them, too. Sheri has a BEd., BSc and an MSc, the latter in physical geography. She's always had an interest in landscapes, countries, and other cultures. Some of her best experiences have come through travel and she wants to open that world to young readers and encourage them to explore. Along with globetrotting, Sheri enjoys photography, skiing, hiking, and art. Sheri and Stella live in Niagara where they both continue to take Japanese lessons. Stella has a hamster and a cat named "Daisy" and is looking forward to getting a dog.
