pickBrad Meltzer's 'I am Amelia Earhart' brings the story of the pioneering aviator to life for young readers. Through vibrant illustrations and an empowering narrative, it inspires children to dream big and pursue their passions. This book can be used to teach about historical figures, aviation, and the importance of perseverance.
so-soWhile this serves as a good introduction to Earhart, that‘s just it…an introduction. I guess when told in the first person, little Amelia will not go into the details of her final flight (she‘s little the entire book, even when portraying an adult). I do like the positive words, and it is an easy book to read aloud. Overall, for really young kids, probably a good starting point to Earhart‘s story. #BBRC #PictureBook #LetterI
