Who Was Amelia Earhart?

As a former teacher, I love gifting books from this series to friends and family with children. I included this in a gift for a soon-to-be 'Girl Dad'.

I donated these wonderful readers to the kids section of our local library. I am excited to know that children will learn about these historical people.

In Who Was Amelia Earhart, Kate Boehme Jerome tells the inspiring story of one of aviation's most iconic figures. Amelia Earhart is celebrated for her groundbreaking achievements, including becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932 and the first to fly across the Pacific in 1935. This engaging biography takes readers on a journey through her life, from her adventurous childhood to her remarkable career in aviation. The narrative highlights not only her numerous achievements but also the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field. Earhart’s passion for flying and her determination to break barriers serve as a source of inspiration for readers of all ages. The book also delves into the mystery surrounding her 1937 disappearance while attempting to circumnavigate the globe, leaving readers with questions about her final journey. Who Was Amelia Earhart is a fascinating account that captures the essence of a woman who pushed boundaries and pursued her dreams. This biography is perfect for young readers interested in history and aviation, making it a valuable addition to any child's bookshelf. Through Earhart's story, readers learn the importance of courage, ambition, and resilience in the pursuit of one's passions.

Love this book! Such a great read for my daughter and her class.

Wow! This work is magnificent, I was delighted with the story about Amelia's life. It fascinates me that a woman has made history in the area of ​​aviation, a sector that many times, erroneously, is associated only with men. But, Amelia is a woman who has proven that when you want, you can and that gender is not a limitation, Amelia showed that a woman can be as good at aviation as a man can be. The book is missing something, and it is to inquire deeply about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, I would like it to be known one day what led to her disappearance.

I bought the book to add to my collection of who was books for my son

I purchased this book to assist my fifth grade daughter with her research report on Amelia Earhart. Not only was it completely comprehensive on its own to write the report, her teacher commented that my daughter wrote information that even she didn’t know. Whenever my primary students are working on a report about a famous person in history, I always try and include a “Who Was?” book as part of their resources. Great book. Great series. Highly recommend.

I bought this to start my daughter off (4th grace) on a research paper she had to do for Amelia Earhart. Buying this allowed her to highlight and 'markup' the key points to give her experience in studying.She was able to color code highlighting as 'facts' and 'interesting facts, not historically significant' which gave her a dynamic paper and speech. The book was an easy read with plenty of facts, in a way that kept her attention. It had both the important and the trivial 'interesting facts' and contained everything she needed to be well versed on the life of Amelia Earhart. She read the complete book in the the time she devours her usual Wimpy kid diaries, so I think it is presented in a way that will keep kids interested.

I love this series! They are great, easy-to-read, fact based biographies that my children have grown up with. Sacagawea was our first book because of my daughter's obsession and from there we moved to other strong historical women, such as Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart. Then we would find subjects to correspond with whatever my kids were studying at school. Really, really recommend this series!!!

I actually read this to my just-preschool 4-year-old daughter who had just started on chapter books at nursery. Shortly afterwards, her princess hair was gone and she loudly decided she wanted to be a vet (since Amelia Earhart could do what *she* wanted.) It's very clearly written, with inset panels providing extra context and thus possible to skip for a younger reader. The text itself would be fine for a 6-year-old, I think and reminds me a bit of the old Ladybird biographies. The book presents Earhart as she was - a woman of her time, making her way, and embracing 20s style Feminism but still feminine, avoiding early marriage, and marrying on her own terms; happily ever after for her was a husband who supported her in *her* adventures. From a parent's point of view, the nice thing about Earhart was that she designed clothes, set fashions, but could do so because she flew planes and had adventures. For younger female listeners and readers she's a fantastic bridge from Barbie to something less saccharine, more assertive, more covered in engine grease - because Amelia didn't care... Oh, and, the book doesn't let Earhart's disappearance overshadow the story; what matters is how she lived, not how she died.

I really like this series. I read it in my free time. I like the way of book explaining things. It is simple and understanding yet, detail from first until final chapter.

Estou estudando inglês sozinha há 1 ano e meio, depois de ter estudado até o livro 6 do curso Brasas e acho que o nível do meu inglês é pré-intermediário. Portanto, não tive muito dificuldade de entender este texto e Amelia Earthart foi uma mulher incrível: ela aprendeu a pilotar aviões em uma época em que quase nenhuma mulher fazia isto e os aviões pequenos eram imensamente perigosos de serem pilotados.

Love it
