You Can't Do That, Amelia! by Kimberly Wagner Klier
4.0

A wonderfully written story to help children relate to and learn about Amelia Earhart.
The story follows her over her life, nurturing her dreams and talents throughout constantly being told that what she hopes to do is impossible.

The book models resilience and the importance of hard work to achieve what might at first appear to people as impossible feats.

The story is written well, and caters to all children, not necessarily just girls, but does make a point of Amelia’s achievements being a significant leap for women.

The book also has plenty of extra resources and signposts to further learning at the end, which is perfect for teachers to consider.
