Amelia Earhart developed a love of flying at a very young age. What began as a simple joy became something much deeper - a commitment to open doors for all women. As Amelia builte a name for herself in the field of aviation - breaking numerous records along the way - she inspired future trailblazers to soar to new heights.
In Amelia Earhart : This Broad Ocean, Taylor and Towle focus on Amelia's triumphant crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1928 , offering us a glimpse of her relentless ambition and her tireless will to promote women's rights. But above all, author and illustrator leave us with a sense of her deep-rooted desire to touch the sky.
The art work is tri-coloured, black, white and a beautiful torquoise.The panels of great action are and then given relief by double page spreads of landscapes which remind us how turbulent and calm Mother Nature can be. This is a terrific graphic novel biography, with most of the story taking place in Trepassey, Newfoundland
