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.
