Amelia Earhart

Who Was Amelia Earhart?
Ben and I are always looking for great books to share with our kids.  We knew about the "Who Was" series and were excited to see that we could buy them on Audible.  We've been listening to Who Was Amelia Earhart when we go places as a family.  One Sunday afternoon we were nearing our destination and the story was coming to a close.  Amelia had broken numerous flight records, fought for women's rights, and died after nearly flying around the entire globe.  The narrater ended the story with an inspirational message- something like "Amelia Earhart showed that if you work for your dream, you can do anything you want."

To which Athena replied matter-of-factly, "Except fly around the world!"

  1. Haha!@Athena's reply. She's already the little pragmatic realist. Love it!! What other books do you read with your children and what is your process/criteria in choosing them?

  2. Great question! I haven't really thought about our process/criteria. I'll give it some thought and let you know!
