I Want to Be a Pilot is part of the My Community series by Laura Driscoll, illustrated by Catalina Echeverri. A little girl with tan skin and long dark hair is on her way to Air Fair, a festival all about air travel. With her aunt, an air force pilot, she sees a variety of airplanes and learns a bit about what they do. The text is clear and shows a number of different types of aircraft. Echeverri’s bright and stylistic illustrations show pilots of a wide variety of skin and hair colors and even distribution of male and female pilots.
A fantastic addition to an early-reader collection.
