The Spirit of Lindy by Kermit Weeks
This is Kermit's second children's book and was first published in 2012, winning a Pinnacle Book Publishing Award!
It is based on the famous flight of Charles Lindbergh from New York to Paris in 1927. Using a bit of artistic license combined with very accurate history, Kermit has the original character airplanes from his first book "All of Life is a School" build Lindy after learning about the Orteig Prize. Lindy comes to life, overcomes many obstacles on his journey, and learns a valuable insight from his experience! (And while the message in the book certainly applies to all ages, it would be appropriate for young listeners and readers up to age ten.)
