After reading this incredible book by Susan Butler i have a great appreciation for Amelia Earhart and all that she did for aviation and women during her time.Living around Los Angeles, and being involved in aviation, even as a beginner, at that time allowed her to become acquainted with some of the early fliers and businessmen who would become well known in the future aviation industry. She does a great job of placing the reader right into the timeframe with Amelia throughout the story.

Telling the stories of the most inspiring and innovative minds in history, explore the life of Amelia Earhart with the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vergara. Lavishly illustrated over-sized volume detailing with the life, career and disappearance of Amelia Earhart; issued for the 75th anniversary of her disappearance. Es un cuento muy bonito y bien ilustrado, me hubiera gustado un poco más que se centrarán en la vida de Amelia de pequeña ya que solo viene una sola página, pero las ilustraciones y el mensaje lo compensan.

The subject matter of this books was incredibly interesting and I feel like I learned a great deal about Amelia Earhart- especially considering that what I knew about her before was essentially what you can find in kids’ books. The most reasonable explanation, based on the known facts of her flight, is that they were unable to locate Howland Island, ran out of fuel, and ditched into the Pacific Ocean. In this great little biography, readers will find out how she tricked her father into letting her fly, how her expertise in publicity helped to pay her way and how she became a fashion icon. I would have given up if not for a strong interest in her disappearance - I was let down at the end.
