Why read it?
1 author picked Tiny Jumper as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My small granddaughter loves the idea of a girl nicknamed Tiny dressed up as a doll jumping out of balloon baskets and airplanes. Who doesn’t?
She cheers Tiny’s story about a small, impoverished, uneducated girl with so much gumption and ingenuity, not to mention guts, that she risks her life to leap her way to fame and fortune and is the first woman to parachute from an airplane. Tiny then goes on to invent the handy ripcord.
The illustrations are lovely; the story is accessible for all ages and bears up beautifully under repeated readings.
