Ginny: The Martian Helicopter is a profoundly inspiring book that brilliantly brings a monumental moment in space exploration to life, sure to ignite the imaginations and dreams of young innovators and explorers! Col. Merryl Tengesdal, U.S. Air Force (ret.), First Black Female U-2 pilot Out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary! If your child loves planes, trains, and automobiles, they'd better get ready for Ginny: The Martian Helicopter! This book takes a twist on the modern-day aviation adventure by bringing kids on a vital mission to explore uncharted territory on planet Mars. On this journey, based on a true story, we follow NASA's small-but-mighty helicopter, Ginny (Ingenuity), as she roams the red skies above Percy (Perseverance), a rover seeking signs of ancient life in outer space. Ginny: The Martian Helicopter is a fantastic discussion spark for what lies beyond the Earth in our solar system. Engage young scholars with this story to help them ""dig a little deeper"" into the way-out-there and get them dreaming about shooting for the stars. Mara Burton, Elementary School Teacher
