I "met" (not really, but through her books" Tanya with her picture book on Alexander Calder. And then I fell in love with her research & writing with the story about the outstanding pilots who were flying female & therefore not eligible back in the day, due to discrimination, to become astronauts. If you have ever watched any footage of any space mission, you owe it to yourself & your family to crack open her book,<br /> ALMOST ASTRONAUTS. <br />The brave, accomplished & little-known, outside their circles. women she presents are exemplars for us all.<br />Brava! to Tanya & to Sherri.
