在这本充满跳跃的文字和明快插图的精美图画书中，获奖者玛格丽塔·恩格尔和萨拉·帕拉西奥斯讲述了第一位驾驶机动飞机的女性阿依达·德·阿科斯塔的真实故事。

On a lively street in the lovely city of Paris， a girl named Aída glanced up and was dazzled4 by the sight of an airship. Oh， how she wished she could soar through the sky like that！The inventor of the airship， Alberto， invited Aída to ride with him， but she didnt want to be a passenger. She wanted to be the pilot.

在美丽的巴黎市区一条热闹的街道上，一位名叫阿依达的女孩抬头看见了飞艇，感到眼花缭乱。哦，她多么希望自己能像那样在天空中翱翔！飛艇的发明者阿尔伯托邀请阿依达和他一起乘坐，但她不想成为一名乘客，她想成为飞行员。

Aída was just a teenager， and no woman or girl had ever flown before. She didnt let that stop her， though. All she needed was courage and a chance to try.

阿依达只是一个十几岁的孩子，之前从未有过任何女性飞行过。不过，那并没有阻碍她。她所需要的只是勇气和尝试的机会。
