About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts expressing that certain activities are only for boys or when they seem hesitant to try something new for fear of failure. Daring Amelia serves as a powerful introduction to the concept of a pioneer, showing that bravery isn't the absence of fear but the drive to explore despite it. The narrative frames Amelia Earhart's life not just through her famous flights, but through her childhood curiosity and grit, making her achievements feel accessible to young readers. While the book concludes with Amelia's mysterious disappearance, it handles the topic with age-appropriate grace, focusing on her lasting legacy as an explorer rather than the tragedy of her loss. It is an ideal choice for parents looking to foster a growth mindset and independent spirit in children ages 6 to 9. By highlighting her transition from a kid building backyard roller coasters to a record-breaking pilot, it encourages children to see their own play and curiosity as the foundation for future greatness.
