"Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others." --Amelia EarhartAmelia 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 built a name for herself in the field of aviation--breaking numerous records along the way--she inspired future trailblazers to soar to new heights.With an introduction by astronaut pioneer Eileen Collins, Amelia Earhart: This Broad Ocean focuses on Amelia's triumphant crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1928. Panel by panel, it offers a glimpse of her relentless ambition and tireless will to promote women's rights. Above all, it leaves us with a sense of her deep-rooted desire to touch the sky.

When a young woman walking in a strange forest falls into a deep pit, she must draw upon her childhood stories and a curious dream for strength and direction.Since she was a girl, Sara had been told amazing stories by her mother about heaven, Earth, and the rainbow bridge. This bridge is the actual connector between heaven and Earth that animals must cross to enter heaven. Each morning, her mother brushes her hair, sparks her imagination with a new part of the story, and then ties back her hair with a pink silk ribbon. Sara develops the habit of removing the ribbon and tying it on animals she finds who have passed away in the woods, fields, and beach near her home. She says to the animal, “I send you with some of my love to protect you, help you see clearly, and find your way home to the rainbow bridge.”Now, Sara lies at the bottom of a muddy hole, crying for help. All of those animals are in heaven with Sara’s father, listening to her hopeless desperation. They are crowded onto the bridge, looking over the edge, and they will do anything to help her. They tie together all of their ribbons to create a rope, lower it from heaven to Earth, and lift her out of the pit to safety. This is a story of how Sara’s simple acts of kindness find their way back to her.
