i bought this for my little sister and of course had to read it before giving it to her
and it was so naturally diverse and inspiring, children's literature is really winning it all

(Review Not on Blog)

This is a great bedtime/non-bedtime story book for young girls that give them a look at what women can do this world and that it is something they can strive for. I am loving all these new storybooks as I did not have as great of a selection of female role models in books.

These stories hit just the right reading level for younger readers. They are short, with simple text, bright illustrations and interesting content. The women featured remind everyone that you don't have to be rich or famous, talent and perseverance comes in all forms, shapes and sizes. Inspirational biographies include: Amelia Earhart, Misty Copeland, Ruth Wakefield, Tanya Tagaq, Viola Desmond, Joanne Rowling, Hayley Wickenheiser, Princess Diana, Deepika Kurup, Jane Goodall, Zahra Lari and Michelle Obama.
