Reach for this book when your child feels limited by others' expectations or is struggling to find confidence in a skill that seems nontraditional for them. Dare the Wind tells the remarkable true story of Ellen Prentiss, a girl who grew up with the sea in her blood and eventually became a master navigator at a time when women were rarely seen on the decks of ships. It is a stirring exploration of resilience and self-confidence, showing how passion and preparation can help someone navigate both literal and figurative storms. While the setting is historical, the emotional core is timeless: the triumph of proving one's worth through skill and courage.

Parents will appreciate the way it balances technical maritime vocabulary with a deeply human story of ambition and accomplishment.
