We decided to do something special this year, to work on gathering more inspiring books for Lydia's home library.  We worked together as a family to make a list of inspiring women that we all wanted to learn more about (I was the first person to add names to the list, including this independent woman).  We'll spend a couple weeks reading about each one, and the culmination? Lydia is going to be planning mommy and me costumes so that we can do a photo shoot inspired by each amazing woman (think of these as her own mini book projects).

Amelia Earheart Books: This list of the best kids' books about Amelia is a must read!

On the search for great kids books about Amelia Earheart? This list from a former teacher is a great start!

First on our list? Amelia Earheart.  Amelia is one of the most famous female pilots in our nation's history.  She was the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone.  She also helped to form an amazing organization for female pilots (all before disappearing during her final flight at the age of 39).  We loved learning about the first woman of flight, and I have to be honest, I'm fascinated by her mysterious disappearance during her last flight over the Pacific Ocean.

Looking for books to fill your child's library with images of inspirational women? This list of books about Amelia Earheart has some great ones!

  1. I am Amelia Earhart (Ordinary People Change the World): This was Lydia's first Amelia book, and the one that inspired this project.  It has fun, relatable illustrations and is a great read for ages 4-6.  The cartoon like pictures are super cute and kid friendly and this is a great introduction to this American aviation pioneer for the youngest readers!
  2. Amelia Earhart (Little People, BIG DREAMS): We absolutely love what this empowering series offers….it's so much fun to read (they also have some really fun gift sets)!  This short text focuses on Amelia as a child, and how she dreamed of flying.  I love that it inspires young kids to dream big and shows them how their heroes grew up to make their dreams come true just like the world-famous pilot.

  4. Amelia Earhart: The Legend of the Lost Aviator: Looking for a book for older kids? This picture book is packed with info and beautiful images.  It has actual photographs and is also a great way to teach text structure while learning about the amazing life of Amelia Earhart.  This one is perfect for third grade and up!

  5. When Amelia Earhart Built a Roller Coaster (Leaders Doing Headstands): Want to know what Amelia was like as a kid? This story tells all about Amelia's life and personality and how her childhood adventures led to her adult ones.  Kids will be able to relate, and imagine themselves as pilots.

  6. Amelia Earhart: Courage in the Sky (Women of Our Time): Looking for a longer Amelia book? This one is perfect for 3-5 graders.  It's about 70 pages, and a great independent read for upper elementary school aged kids.
