Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History

Here are forty leaders in history, all women, all black, with stories of courage and persistence, as they venture into positions as doctors, scientists, mathematicians, poets, political leaders, athletes, college students, writers, leading the ways for thousands of other black women to follow. The stories are simply told, but the author tells just enough to spark interest into pursuing more research into these lives. Inspiring.

I like the art in this and I like the stories. It is a little old for my daughter but we read through many of these and we will read through them again when she is slightly older (she was barely four when I initially picked it up and read it.)

But I do think it is useful book to have for older kids (5-8) as a jumping off place for additional learning.
