Emma Lilian Todd's mind was always soaring--she loved to solve problems. Lilian tinkered and fiddled with all sorts of objects, turning dreams into useful inventions. As a child, she took apart and reassembled clocks to figure out how they worked. As an adult, typing up patents at the U.S. Patent Office, Lilian built the inventions in her mind, including many designs for flying machines. However, they all seemed too impractical. Lilian knew she could design one that worked. She took inspiration from both nature and her many failures, driving herself to perfect the design that would eventually successfully fly. Illustrator Tracy Subisak's art brings to life author Kirsten W. Larson's story of this little-known but important engineer."-- provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Todd, Emma Lilian, $d 1865-1937 $x Biography $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women inventors $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Aeronautics $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Picture books. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Subisak, Tracy, $e illustrator. 941 $a 9 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023655.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20220607010605.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220104013814.0 952 $l FVPB284 $d 20210929010410.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210701010725.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20210522010201.0 952 $l CUPC586 $d 20201203010227.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007082805.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200221010345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1A1B50A547711EA8C3FA95797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
