About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration with gender stereotypes or feels discouraged by the slow pace of reaching a big goal.

It is particularly helpful for children who struggle with the pressure of being first or who feel they have something to prove to the world. The story highlights Amelia's internal drive and her commitment to opening doors for others. Through the accessible format of a graphic novel, it explores themes of bravery, independence, and the reality of facing public scrutiny. It is perfectly suited for children aged 8 to 12, offering a sophisticated look at ambition while remaining visually engaging. Parents will appreciate how it frames Earhart's life not just as a series of adventures, but as a deliberate effort to change social expectations for women.
