Elisa is a very unusual child: she prefers long walks along the Seine and carefree runs through the meadows to frilly dresses and embroidery. When, one day, she sees the contrail of an airplane in the sky, she understands what she wants to do with her life: become a pilot. This book is inspired by the story of Elisa Deroche, born in Paris on August 22, 1882, and the first woman in the world to obtain a pilot's license, and is an ode to the determination and courage to pursue one's dreams.
