4 ⭐This book chronicles Sophie Blanchard, the first woman to go solo in a hot air balloon. She was one of the first female aeronauts. Little is known of her life before marrying Jean Pierre Blanchard, a famous aerialist of the time. This is a great beginning look at woman who dared to do what many thought only men could do. Finding out that Sophie died so young, due to a fire and a fall from her balloon, is heartbreaking but also real.
While this serves as a good introduction to Earhart, that‘s just it…an introduction. I guess when told in the first person, little Amelia will not go into the details of her final flight (she‘s little the entire book, even when portraying an adult). I do like the positive words, and it is an easy book to read aloud. Overall, for really young kids, probably a good starting point to Earhart‘s story. #BBRC #PictureBook #LetterI

My first completed book for the challenge! I was able to also get it in audio which helped. A low pick, just because this is the kind of nonfiction I find boring and would prefer in long form journalism, rather than a padded out book. But all the stars to Captain Sullenberger and the United Airlines crew. Their professionalism makes me feel more even confident about flying, for sure..
She felt the air turn crisp and cold, like the first taste of fall.
A good read that makes you fell like you are a part of the story.
Biography. This book tells the story of the first woman pilot Sophie Blanchard. With gorgeous watercolor and ink illustrations and descriptive writing you really feel like you take to the skies with Sophie.
