“An accessible and positive portrayal of the mothers and people of color who serve proudly in the military; a good purchase for bilingual collections.” – August 2016 School Library Journal review by Mary Margaret Mercado, Pima County Public Library, Tucson, AZ [Read the SLJ review here.]
“This bookshelf gem beautifully weaves adventure and storytelling, taking us onboard for an exciting insider’s view of an aerial fueling plane. Narrated by a young boy, we witness a powerful moment when the child explores his Captain mother’s intriguing workplace. The gender empowerment elements were equally as inspirational to me as to my children.” -Angelica Perez-Litwin, Ph.D., Founder, Latinas Think Big and CEO, Think Big Society, LLC
This is the second book in the bilingual Captain Mama global aviation adventure series! The title is Captain Mama’s Surprise/La Sorpresa de Capitán Mamá [ISBN 9780997309003] In this book, Little Marco becomes the storyteller.
Below are three interior illustrations for you to enjoy. Imagine Marco and his classmates on a field trip, meeting the crew Captain Mama flies with and learning about this unique airplane and its systems, getting excited about one day becoming aviators!
This package includes an embroidered patch as see above. As in the first book, the illustrator is Linda Lens, daughter of an Air Force veteran.
