It describes her and her sister as wearing pants instead of dresses and essentially not conforming to the expectations of gender at her time. She was obsessed with airplanes during the war where she worked as a nurse. She had crash landed several times while learning to fly. The images in this book have a water color look to them. Please note that this is a somewhat longer picture book, but was very informative. I enjoyed this story about Amelia Earhart because it provided a lot of information about her life. It talks about her childhood in Canada and after World War 1 Amelia decided be a nurse's aid to help soldiers. Later on in life she went to an air show that inspired her to become a pilot. I really liked this story because it gave a lot of information about Amelia and could be used many ways in my classroom. I could use this while teaching history and while talking about airplanes. Great read! Amelia Earhart was raised with her sister in a very wealthy family. Both girls were tomboys. Amelia and her sister spent time in Canada where they witnessed soldiers returning from World War I. Seeing the horrible after effects of the war and the toll it took on the men, Amelia quit school to become a nurse's aide to care for the veterans. After the war, she studied Automobile Engine Repair. Amelia attended her first air show and paid $1 for an airplane ride. That this moment she was hooked, and immediately took flying lessons. Shortly there after she bought her first plane! In 1928, she became the first women to fly across the Atlantic Ocean as a co-passenger. Her popularity soared and she began giving speeches against war and for the rights of women. In 1932, Amelia Earhart flew across the Atlantic Ocean again, only this time she was the pilot and went alone. She later became the first to fly alone across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In 1937, she attempted to fly around the world visiting several countries. After flying more than three-fourths around the world, on July 2nd they started the last leg of their journey, but never made it. Amelia Earhart and her navigator disappeared somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
