This children's book is based on historical facts. It tells the story of how Eleanor Roosevelt had Amelia Earhart over for dinner at the White House and how they went for a plane ride after supping but before dessert. In the back of the book, the author writes an extensive note explaining the real facts and research she persued in order to write the book. On the very last page is a photograph of the two women in the plane on the night flight on April 20, 1933.
