As a boy, Alexander ?Sandy? Calder was always fiddling with odds
and ends, making objects for friends. When he got older and became
an artist, his fiddling led him to create wire sculptures. One day,
Sandy made a lion. Next came a lion cage. Before he knew it, he had
an entire circus and was traveling between Paris and New York
performing a brand-new kind of art for amazed audiences.
This is the story of Sandy's Circus, as told by Tanya Lee Stone
with Boris Kulikov's spectacular and innovative illustrations.
Calder's original circus is on permanent display at the Whitney
Museum in New York City.

They had the right stuff. They defied the prejudices of the time.
And they blazed a trail for generations of women to follow.
What does it take to be an astronaut? Excellence at flying,
courage, intelligence, resistance to stress, top physical shape --
any checklist would include these. But when America created NASA in
1958, there was another unspoken rule: you had to be a man. Here is
the tale of thirteen women who proved that they were not only as
tough as the toughest man but also brave enough to challenge the
government. They were blocked by prejudice, jealousy, and the
scrawled note of one of the most powerful men in Washington. But
even though the Mercury 13 women did not make it into space, they
did not lose, for their example empowered young women to take their
place in the sky, piloting jets and commanding space capsules.
ALMOST ASTRONAUTS is the story of thirteen true pioneers of the
space age.
