This is how you do a photobiography, this right here. I had to read this book for my Children's Literature class and just wow. I'm blown away by how respectful and informative this was about Amelia in general, not just pertaining to her and her aeronautics career. I wish more nonfiction books like this were advertised toward adults because holy moly would I be able to get so much more nonfiction reading done. I felt like this kept be engaged yet so ready to find out what happened next to Amelia and the legacy she worked so very hard to build. I wish I could give this more stars without losing some peace of mind because this is pure gold. I live maybe 40 miles from Atchison, so I grew up learning about Amelia, going to the Amelia Earhart festival and such. I especially liked the foreword to this book because they said that "this is how a story should be told" and I couldn't agree more. I felt so much respect and understanding while reading this just wow. I need more. I am definitely going to get on reading Amelia's books she wrote herself. As for biographies, this is my favorite one about her so far. The pictures would aide children with disabilities greatly in learning and comprehending the information better than without the pictures to use to visualize the situations. I will definitely be trying to buy this one to put on my shelf because holy fuck yes this is a good coffee table book but it will also educate you while you read and look through it. So it's the best of both worlds.
