SOARING IN STYLE

 

 

 

Jennifer Lane Wilson’s book “Soaring in Style” is a children’s non-fiction dealing with the theme of fulfilling the ambition and reaching great heights. “How Amelia Earhart became a fashion icon” is the story of the book. Jennifer grew up learning about the state’s hero Amelia Earhart and authored a book on her success story. The Author has given an apt title to the book.

Soaring in style is definitely an inspiration for children to come up in life by over- coming the hindrance. Amelia wanted to fly! And she did!

First in Flight, First in Fashion

Fabulous,

Fearless,

Amelia.

These words of the Author indicates the struggle and hardship she faced to establish herself in the aviation industry which at that time was dominated by men.   

The author shares that Amelia aimed for the sky and stars from the younger age. She firmly believed in herself and made herself strong to achieve her goals. Amelia remains an American hero and an icon of American style. How she became America’s first celebrity fashion designer? What made her to turn to fashion apart from being an aviator? These are put forth before the children in a simple description along with illustration by Lissy Marlin.

This book makes a great read for children and a chance to know about Amelia’s first solo ride, first bloomers and how Amelia’s designs encouraged women to move freely and be just as active as men.

Amelia’s success in both flight and fashion is a lesson to children that “success is the child of audacity.”
