Amelia Earhart

Meet Amelia Earhart - the woman who soared above the clouds.

In 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean - a feat the world said couldn't be done. She broke record after record, crossed continents and oceans alone, and in 1937 set out to circle the globe. Then, somewhere over the Pacific, she vanished. Her story has captivated the world ever since.

This beautifully illustrated children's biography brings Amelia's extraordinary life into vivid focus for young readers. From her Kansas childhood watching birds wheel across the prairie sky, to the Lockheed Vega that carried her across the Atlantic, to the courage and quiet defiance that defined every choice she made - discover the woman who refused to stay on the ground.

Part of Brilliant Women, Remarkable Stories - a series of accessible, beautifully crafted biographies for young readers, bringing to life the women who shaped our world. Each book celebrates a woman whose story deserves to be told: Marie Curie, Rosa Parks, Ada Lovelace, Cleopatra, Sacagawea, Frida Kahlo, Zelda Fitzgerald, and more.

A perfect first biography for curious children ages 6-10. Beautifully suited to read-aloud at bedtime or independent early reading.
