Hey there, friends! Welcome to our fun story time. Today, we’re going to learn about an amazing woman named Amelia Earhart. She was a brave pilot who loved flying high in the sky. Let’s find out more about her exciting adventures!
When Amelia was a little girl, she loved to imagine flying like a bird. Have you ever dreamed of flying? One day, she went to an airshow and saw planes zooming through the sky. She wished she could fly too! Have you ever been on a plane? It’s like being a bird up in the clouds!
Amelia got a chance to ride in an airplane, and she loved it so much that she decided to learn how to fly. After practicing for months, she became the first woman to fly as high as 14,000 feet! Isn’t that amazing?
Amelia was also the first woman to try flying over the big Atlantic Ocean with a mechanic and a pilot. As they flew, she waved at the whales far below. After many hours, they reached land, and everything looked tiny, like toy houses and cars!
Even though Amelia wasn’t flying the plane when they landed, she became famous. People all over the world were inspired by her story. Amelia believed that every girl should have the chance to fly, so she started a club with 98 other brave pilots.
Later on, Amelia flew across the Atlantic Ocean all by herself. As she got closer to her 40th birthday, she wanted to try something even bigger: flying around the world! With a brave navigator, she flew over oceans, jungles, and even saw giraffes from above!
Some people thought her journey was too risky, but Amelia loved adventures. She flew farther than anyone had before. Sadly, during her journey, she disappeared and never returned. But her bravery and spirit are remembered by everyone.
Amelia Earhart was born in 1897 and disappeared in 1937. She was the most famous female pilot of her time. She first got interested in planes after seeing an airshow when she was almost 20. A pilot named Frank Hawks gave her a ride in a biplane, and from that moment, she knew she wanted to fly.
Amelia took flying lessons and bought her first plane six months later. She set a new record by flying up to 14,000 feet. She was the first woman to fly over the Atlantic and later flew solo across the Pacific Ocean. In 1937, she tried to fly around the world, but her plane disappeared. A lighthouse was built in her memory, and her courage is celebrated everywhere.
Isn’t Amelia Earhart so cool? We hope you enjoyed learning about her amazing adventures! Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again soon. Take care and keep dreaming big!
Build Your Own Airplane: Gather some simple materials like paper, cardboard, or recycled items from home. Try to build your own model airplane. Think about how Amelia might have felt when she first learned to fly. Once you’ve built your airplane, see how far it can glide. Can you make it fly higher or farther by changing its shape?
Map Amelia’s Journey: Using a world map, trace the routes Amelia Earhart took during her famous flights. Can you find the Atlantic Ocean and trace her solo flight across it? Imagine what she might have seen from the sky. What countries did she fly over? Use colored pencils to draw her path and add pictures of things she might have seen, like whales or giraffes.
Dream Big Like Amelia: Think about something you dream of doing one day. It could be flying, exploring space, or even inventing something new. Draw a picture of yourself achieving this dream. Share your drawing with a friend or family member and talk about what steps you might take to make your dream come true, just like Amelia did with her dream of flying.

Greetings, everyone! Welcome to the Story Time Family. Today, we’re going to be talking about Amelia Earhart, written by Ma Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Let’s find out what Amelia Earhart is all about!
Amelia Earhart: Little People, Big Dreams. When Amelia was a little girl, she liked to imagine she could stretch her wings and fly like a bird. Have you ever imagined flying like a bird? When she was older, she went to an airshow. The plane soared into the sky, leaving Amelia on the ground. She wished she could go with them and see what they saw. Have you been on a plane high up in the sky? Isn’t it amazing?
She got a ride in an airplane and liked it so much that she didn’t want to ever come down. So, Amelia learned to fly. After months of practicing, she became the first woman to fly up to 14,000 feet. With a mechanic and a pilot, she was also the first woman to try and fly over the enormous Atlantic Ocean. As they set off, she waved at whales far beneath her. Wow, that is so incredible!
After many hours, they reached land. The world looked small—so small that the houses and cars looked like toys. Have you seen your house from up above? They look like toy houses! Even though Amelia wasn’t flying the plane when they landed, she became famous. People around the world were inspired by her story. Amelia thought that every girl deserved to fly, so she founded a club with 98 other fearless pilots.
A little later, she flew across the Atlantic all by herself. As her 40th birthday approached, Amelia decided she wanted one final challenge: to fly around the world. A brave navigator went with her. They flew for thousands of miles over oceans, jungles, and over the savannah where giraffes turn their heads in the trail. Some people said the journey was crazy, but Amelia wasn’t afraid of living a thousand adventures. So, she flew on like a bird, farther than anyone had gone before, and never returned.
Amelia always followed her own advice: if you want to do something, do it. You never know how far you could get. Amelia Earhart was born in 1897 and disappeared in 1937. She was the most famous female pilot of the 20th century. She first became interested in planes after seeing an air show when she was nearly 20 years old. A little later, pilot Frank Hawks gave her a ride in a biplane. From that moment on, she said, “I knew I had to fly.”
Amelia took lessons and bought her first plane six months later. She used it to set a new women’s world record by flying up to 14,000 feet. She was the first woman to fly over the Atlantic—first with a mechanic and a pilot, and later by herself. In 1929, Amelia was the first president of the 99s, an organization that supported female pilots. In 1935, she became the first person to fly solo across the Pacific Ocean.
But Amelia was always keen for a challenge. In 1937, she decided to try and fly around the world—a total of 29,000 miles. On July 2nd, she was trying to reach Howland Island in the mid-Pacific when she reported that their gas was running low. Soon after, all communications from the plane stopped. There was a massive rescue attempt, but Amelia and her plane had vanished. In 1938, a lighthouse was built on Howland Island in her memory, and today her bravery is celebrated around the world.
