Reach for this book when your child is struggling to find their place within a group of high-achieving siblings or when they need to understand that behind every great success is a network of quiet support. While history books often focus on Orville and Wilbur Wright, this narrative shifts the spotlight to their sister, Katharine, who provided the emotional and logistical foundation that allowed their dreams to take flight. This beautifully illustrated story explores themes of collaboration, family loyalty, and the persistence required to change the world. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to emphasize that contribution comes in many forms, not just through the person standing in the limelight. Best suited for children ages 6 to 10, it balances scientific curiosity with a deep, heart-centered look at the Wright family dynamic.
