Skybound

Starring Mary Myers as Carlotta, Daredevil Aeronaut and Scientist

The life of Mary Myers takes flight in this captivating biographical picture book about a barrier-busting woman scientist. Mary Myers—who later took on the name Carlotta—was a pioneer in aeronautics, though her contributions have been overlooked. Stunning illustrations with intricate details follow the highs and lows—literally—of her life and career. Her story will inspire budding scientists to let their dreams carry them up, up, and away.
