an amazing illustrated book that tells the story of the little amelia Earhart, who would later become the first female aviator to fly solo across the atlantic ocean, in 1932. a versatile character, amelia was, and is, a fine example of how can be possible to reconcile the realization of a dream unconventional for her time with a femininity never overshadowed: a style icon appeared on «Vogue», a «Cosmopolitan» collaborator, amelia also created her own line of clothing.The narrative of Mara Dal Corso relates with freshness and immediacy the little amelia’s great desire to fly, and the special, soft illustrations by Daniela Volpari, perfectly matched with the style of the decade, add grace and joy to the adventures of amelia, with a beautiful rendering of the natural environment in which she spent his childhood.

Life as a prince is not easy, when you are still a child. among many duties, it’s absolutely necessary to ride. But the horse is so great, and the little prince is so small, that he is ashamed to go around the kingdom

on the back of such a big animal. He doesn’t look at anyone and doesn’t greet anybody, hoping that none would note him. This is not the way to look nice! But one day a skinny little girl, with tousled hair and twinkling dark eyes, puts herself in front of the horse until the prince rises his eyes: What’s wrong? He asks. You guess! she replies. Get off that horse and try to see how beautiful it is to do somersaults in the meadows, laugh out loud and get dirty with chocolate. The world looks different seen from under there, you become even nicer... so the horse is happy to graze the grass and gallop freely, the prince discovers how beautiful it is to be a child, and a role from which it seemed that he could not escape proves not so necessary in the end: just want to, at times, or at least try... can be enough.
