I bought this book for my 5 year old daughter. She absolutely loves it!!! This is a wonderful opportunity to teach her about very important people, while still keeping it appropriate to her age/comprehension level. It's akin to teaching American history using the Broadway show, Hamilton, but for children. The story is engaging, and educational. Truly pleased!!!
My daughter and I were at the book store and I let her pick out a book for herself, and I picked a book I wanted for her. Typically I read the books before buying, but I saw the namesake and wanted it.The book is easy to understand, and the drawings are cute. It also briefly goes into some serious issues -such as racism, and I think it's a good opportunity to talk more about racism if they ask questions, and about the history of the civil rights movement.Also, a great Segway into reading poems by Maya Angelou.
This book breaks the mold of children's books and teaches them about an American heroine. The story is well written, and keeps the attention of my 2 boys (3yrs and 18 mos). Both educational and enlightening it's a great addition to curious childrens book library!
