Skyward Résumé

Skyward: The Story of Female Pilots in WW2 Sally Deng

The year is 1927, and in America, England and Russia, three young girls share the dream of becoming pilots. Against the odds, these ambitious young trailblazers follow their hearts, enrolling in pilot school (some in secret) and eventually flying for their countries in World War II. Follow the adventures of these young female pioneers as they battle not only enemies in the skies but sexism and inequality in their own teams, and encounter legends like Jackie Speed Queen Cochran. Risking their lives countless times in feats of incredible bravery, the Women Airforce Service Pilots--WASPs--of the Second World War are honored in this beautiful story based on actual events, illustrated in Sally Deng's raw, dynamic style.

There's excitement and bravery in each thread of the story, so beautifully told, against the historical backdrop of WWII and introduces us to the heroic stories of the real pilots who've inspired the story.
-Association of Illustrators

Deng's graphics vary from striking compositions reminiscent of WWII-era posters to dramatic views of soaring planes under enemy fire.
-Publishers Weekly

A fascinating read in terms of untold history - especially the heroic women of colour, who were flying life-threatening missions as well as combating racism on the ground.
-Book Trust

The book provides important context for kids to understand the lengths that women had to go to in order to gain acceptance in the military.
-American Scientist

Risking their lives countless times in feats of incredible bravery, the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) of the Second World War are honored in this beautifully illustrated and inherently fascinating story based on actual events and real people.
