During World War II, my grandmother Juanita rolled up her sleeves and joined the millions of women who transformed America’s workforce. With grit, skill, and unwavering courage, she built warplanes at a California airfield, proving that patriotism and resilience didn’t wear just one uniform. She wasn't famous — she was far more powerful than that. She was a working-class woman who stepped up when the world was in crisis and helped change history.
Now, I need your support in writing a children’s book to tell her story.
