Long before she became one of the most famous pilots in history, a young girl with messy hair and scraped knees was climbing trees, building ramps, and asking endless questions about how the world worked. That girl's name was Amelia Earhart. This book tells the true story of her early years-the curiosity that drove her, the courage that defined her, and the spark of adventure that began long before her first flight. From a childhood spent exploring backyards and train yards to long afternoons filled with books, experiments, and imagination, readers will meet a girl who didn't fit neatly into anyone's expectations. She preferred tools to toys, challenges to comfort, and possibilities to limits. Through moves, hardships, and new beginnings, she learned to adapt, to rely on herself, and to keep her spirit alive no matter what life threw her way. By the time she saw her first airplane, Amelia already carried the courage it would take to soar into history. Written for curious kids who love true stories of discovery and determination, this book reminds readers that the world's greatest adventures often begin with simple questions-and that the first step toward greatness starts with daring to dream.
