Amelia Who Could Fly

32 pp. | Kane/Miller | September, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-61067-469-0 $12.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Daniela Volpari. With spare text and dynamic, stylized illustrations, this Italian import depicts a young girl named Amelia confidently proclaiming her intent to fly someday. The big square trim provides space for the feisty heroine to swoop across full-bleed double spreads. An endnote (without references) on Amelia Earhart broadly contextualizes this little Amelia's adventures, which include a jarring off-message moment in which she receives a gun.
