Hi, I'm Rita Mayer, the author of The Boy Who Loved to Go Fast: A Story of Glenn Hammond Curtiss!
This book introduces very young children to the life of little-known but remarkable aviation pioneer and inventor, Glenn Curtiss, through fun and lyrical verse. His story inspires children to let curiosity take the lead, dream big, make mistakes, try again, and never stop learning.
