Amelia Earhart has been in the news lately, as plans and a large scale project were set and then carried out to find her downed plane. The unsuccessful current event has brought new life to this remarkable woman of courage and tenacity.
Book Description
An inspiring true story of Amelia Earheart and Eleanor Roosevelt -- and a
thrilling night when they made history together! On a brisk and cloudless
evening in April 1933, Amelia Earheart and Eleanor Roosevelt did the
unprecedented: They stole away from a White House dinner, commandeered an
Eastern Air Transport plane and took off on a glorious adventure -- while still
dressed in their glamorous evening gowns! This large-format lavishly produced
picture book celebrates the courage and pioneering spirit of two friends who
defied convention in the name of fulfillment, conviction, and fun. Breathtaking
black and white drawings -- which create the look of a vintage movie -- make
this a visual tour de force for young adventurers, historians and any one else
who dares to dream.
