​BLUE GRASS AIRPORT: An American Aviation Story

Picture

​SORRY - THIS TITLE IS OUT-OF-PRINT!
Winner of a 2015 Gold IPPY Award and a Silver Medalist in two categories of the 2015 Ben Franklin Awards, 
Blue Grass Airport: An American Aviation Story sheds light on the remarkable history of aviation in central Kentucky. Over 400 photographs, some never before published, illustrate the challenges, triumphs and tragedies that Lexington, a community best known for its equine heritage, experienced as it began to look to the skies for transportation and commerce.

This rich history is told through the lens of national and international events by some of Lexington’s most accomplished writers. Early airfields, air circuses, airplane crashes and famous aviators made headlines in Lexington’s local papers. Politics, private aviation, the challenges of transporting horses by air, a notorious hijacking, visiting celebrities and royalty, bitter disputes over land, the impact of 9-11 are just some of the fascinating stories revealed in this book.

240 pages • Hardcover with Dust Jacket • 8-7/8” x 10-3/4”  • 409 photographs • Originally $39.95/USA

 ELLEN: The Little Girl Who Found Her Voice

Picture
Artist Ellen Skidmore tells about her difficulties growing up with a severe speech impediment in a children’s book called ELLEN: The Little Girl Who Found Her Voice. 

She is a smart little girl who wants to fit in and be as "perfect" as the children around her appear to be. She learns that her happiness is found by focusing on the things she loves rather than dwelling on her frustrations. Learning to paint liberated young Ellen and her love of animals made her life so much happier. 

This book will appeal and comfort children and adults with disabilities and encourage them to listen to their heart. 

The 60-page book is illustrated by 28 paintings in her distinctive style – full of luminous color and delicate but whimsical subject matter. 

Skidmore hopes parents will read the book to their young children to help them accept who they are – especially if they are considered to be “different” from other children. 

60 pages • Hardcover • 9-1/4” x 8-1/4”  • $24.95/USA (Plus Shipping)
