Gents, thank you for all your suggestions -- any number of these sound
good, and I'll look into them. They'd likely be good additions to my own
bookshelf, too. Can I broaden my question -- probably what I should have
asked in the first place -- and ask for suggestions for anything that a
child her age might find inspiring? Not necessarily instructional in
nature, but material that could fire her imagination and shed some light
on our sport. Let's throw videos into the mix, too: she's already seen
"Windborn," and "Fly Away Home".

I read Peter Scott's autobiography[1] when I was just a little older than
she is now. I wanted to fly gliders ever since reading it, although I
didn't get the opportunity until I was almost 50.
