Earhart

For the field mice, the boundary of the garden is the edge of the world. But one little field mouse is determined to discover the wide world beyond the burrow-even if she isn't supposed to fly. With her knack for engineering and help from an experienced mouse aviator, she defies the other field mice and sets off on a daring journey. Could it be that she inspired Amelia Earhart's pioneering aviation career?Amelia Earhart dreamed of becoming a pilot after she attended an airshow, and went on to defy gender barriers when she became the first female to fly non-stop across the Atlantic. Torben Kuhlmann's masterfully rendered illustrations and gripping story, inspired by Earhart, encourage young readers to pursue their passions-despite all obstacles.Includes nonfiction backmatter: a biography of Amelia Earhart, a description of her infamous flight and the myths around it, and a timeline of other successful flights around the world!"Adventure is worthwhile in itself." - Amelia Earhart

Torben Kuhlmann was born in Germany. Highly creative as a young child, Torben was recognized as early as kindergarten for being a gifted draftsman. He was captivated by small airplanes, strange machines, and steaming trains; these elements made their way into his drawings. He studied illustration and design at the Hamburg University for Applied Sciences. His preferred media are pen and watercolor. He also works with acrylics, oil paints, and digital programs. He works as a freelance illustrator in Hamburg. The books in his Mouse Adventures series are best sellers and owe their inventiveness to Torben's great enthusiasm for unusual mechanical inventions. Edison: The Mystery of the Missing Mouse Treasure was chosen as a 2019 Batchelder Honor and an ALA Notable Children's Book. Torben Kuhlmann was born in Germany.
