Wonderful read!

I got this book when I was four and now I am nine. Even now, I enjoy this book, I'll read it every day. I was delighted to see how they were showing some less famous women in black history. Quite a few of the people in the book I had never heard of, but as I read, I was drawn in by the words that Vashti Harrison placed perfectly on the pages. I also looked with amazement to see the beautiful drawings that she drew herself.

Informative and adorable

These were lovely, they remind me of the format of Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales to Dream Big but with the absolute sweetest art style. I loved the narration, both women were amazing, and I would listen to Bahni Turpin narrate the phonebook at this point. We listened and flipped along to give my voice a break at read aloud time, and my 7 year old was able to follow along (my 4 year old off and on asked questions, but wasn't really absorbing much history) I definitely want to pick up the others in the series.
