Come along on an aviation journey with Alis! This spunky female guide will take you through an ABC of planes featuring gorgeous cut-paper art.

An A to Z of planes past and present, this book has stunning cut-paper art and a cute-as-a-button guide named Alis. Named for Dr. Alis B. Kennedy, likely one of the first Indigenous women to obtain a commercial pilot licence with land and sea ratings in Canada, Alis will take you on an aviation tour from the Avro Arrow to the Zeppelin and everything in between.

Meticulously researched and uniquely crafted, this is a one-of-a-kind book that will delight aviation fans big and little.

Praise for Alis the Aviator

PRAISE FOR Polar Winds: A Century of Flying the Arctic by Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail:

"Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail brings us an extraordinarily intimate, engaging and all-encompassing chronicle of Canadian flight north of the 60th parallel. Metcalfe-Chenail proves herself a remarkable historian and writer, weaving factual accounts with compelling stories of risk, heroism and adventure." --Carol Shaben, author of Into the Abyss

"Metcalfe-Chenail has captured a rich heritage in great detail, and yet woven it all together in such an entertaining way that it's hard to put Polar Winds down." --Sherwood/Strathcona News

PRAISE FOR For the Love of Flying by Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail:

"[A] beautifully illustrated account. . . . Brochures, advertisements, articles, and sidebars about flying in the wet wilderness are scattered among contemporary and historic photographs, and all of it gives For the Love of Flying the ability to transport readers on journeys to the outer reaches of the civilized world." --Air&Space Magazine, Smithsonian Museum
