Reviews

[Kathleen]

This is a wonderful introduction to Pauli Murray for young readers. The books covers many important details and moments from Pauli's life while explaining things like Pauli's pronouns in an accessible and engaging way. The beautiful illustrations add details (like a picture of Irene Barlow) that complement the text.
