By (author): Barrington Irving Chana Stiefel

Illustrated by: Shamar Knight-Justice

As a kid, Barrington Irving moved from Jamaica to Miami and played football - his ticket to success, he thought. But then Captain Gary Robinson swooped into his life. Barrington had never seen a Black pilot before. Captain Robinson showed Barrington a jet, a cockpit, and what it was like to actually fly a plane - WHOAAA! After that, Barrington had big plans, and two words: Let's Fly! Barrington Irving worked hard to become a pilot, and even harder to inspire other people to think big too. How big? A flight around the WORLD big. Climb aboard for the true story of how Barrington Irving went from tinkering kid to towering pilot and flew solo around the world - breaking records as the youngest person and first Black man ever to do it. With maps, labels, lists, and cool backmatter, including news of what Barring Irving is doing today, this book soars. Buckle up! Sky-high dreams ahead. See more
