Flights of Fancy Story Time: "Bessie Coleman"
Watch On Demand
Presented Online
Gather your little ones for story time with the National Air and Space Museum. Museum educator Ann Caspari will read an original story about the pioneering pilot Bessie Coleman, with sketches by museum educator Diane Kidd. After the story, Ann will lead us in a craft activity to make biplane models using paper towel tubes, paper, and tape.
