Purchase options and add-ons
When Amelia was young, she liked to imagine she could stretch her wings and fly away like a bird. As a grown woman, she set a new female world record for flying up to 14,000 feet. She also flew across the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, and eventually undertook the most dangerous mission of all: to fly all the way around the world. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the aviator's life.
Little People, BIG DREAMS is a best-selling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.
This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardcover and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets. Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.

About the authors
¡Hola! My name is Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara and I’m a writer and creative director from Barcelona. When I was a little girl, I used to read books under the covers with a flashlight once my mom had turned the light off. I always wanted to be a writer… but when I grew up, I ended up in advertising. It was a lot of fun though; I loved working with directors, photographers, designers, and I also wrote scripts, documentaries and texts for all kind of things.
Then, I decided to self-publish a book that had been in my mind for a long time. One day, one thousand copies of the book arrived at my home – I had no idea what I was going to do with them! I opened a little online shop, offered them to some pretty stores in my neighborhood and, one by one, I sold them all. Soon, publishing houses started to approach me to write books, but I was working on another idea of my own: a series about little people with BIG dreams.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019My 19 month old has only had this book a few months so I can’t speak to it standing the test of long-term time, but since we got it she has requested to read it multiple times a day. She is super into airplanes right now and loves this book! I love that it is introducing her to the story of Amelia Earhart in a really simple way with beautiful illustrations.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020Love these books! My 1YO is obsessed with the drawings and pictures. I find her flipping the pages, and they’re a coated plastic page so no worries about ripping them. My 3YO loves the story lines, and I love that they’re not princess stories but ones about real women having real impact. I can see her horizons broadening as we read them. **Also fun gift idea is to give a dress up pilot cap with this**
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2023Cute book about Amelia Earhart! Love all the pictures.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019We love all of these books and have ordered many in this series. My younger daughter (4) enjoys looking through them and my 8yr old can easily read them aloud to her sibling- the books are both engaging and informative. They are not overwhelming for newer/younger readers & tell these individuals' stories using language that is easy to process & retain. I would consider them a great gift for 5-8yr olds particularly.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022Visited a cousin whose daughter was named Amelia. She thought it was so cool that the first female pilot was named Amelia. So cute.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2019This is truly a sweet series. I always purchase a book from this collection for new babies. The board books are a little lengthy for small children but it’s still manageable. The pictures are simple and engaging and give a quick snapshot into the lives of the people they are sharing stories about.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018This book was very cute the illustrations are colorful and interesting which makes for an excellent board books for a little one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Libro de formato carton
Todos los libros de esra colección Little People, big Dreams, son muy recomendables.
Este formato es tamaño pequeño, y de carton, con textos muy cortitos, perfecto para niños más pequeños. Ya que los pueden agarrar con sus manos pequeñas y no hay riesgo de romper las hojas. Aunque el formato esta pensado para los niños menores de 5 años, el libro sigue gustando también a los niños más mayores!
