Happy Wright Brothers Day (Dec. 17)! ✈️ “Who Were the Wright Brothers?” (from the Who Was? series) tells the true story of Wilbur and Orville Wright—two brothers who loved to tinker, test ideas, and solve problems. Kids will learn how they went from curious kids (and even running a bike shop!) to experimenting with flying machines, facing setbacks, and eventually making the first successful powered flight. They weren’t college scientists — they were self-taught inventors who ran a bicycle shop, and that work helped them understand balance, control, and mechanics (all key for flying). 1/2
