This book is filled with both historic and modern global praise of remarkable and exemplary women across cultures who have accomplished extraordinary things. This is definitely a book your children can learn from and includes many different female role models to be inspired by, so it can cater to any interest. From well renowned astronauts to writers to scientists to rulers, etc, women have proven to be a formidable force. Recognizing their accomplishments is important. Some of my favorites that are mentioned in the book include Simone Biles, a gymnast and olympic gold medalist, Marie Curie, a scientist who discovered polonium and radium, and Frida Kahlo, a famous Mexican painter. However, there are many, many more incredible women that are mentioned.
Not only did I love the fascinating story of each woman presented in the book, but I also enjoyed the impressive artwork. The artistic craftsmanship is just phenomenal. It truly brings the book alive, being so vibrant and animated. I highly recommend this book to parents of babies or small toddlers as a bedtime story.
