JMW: A beautifully written story that doesn’t shy away from the truth of her history but also does so in an age appropriate manner. I am very happy with the way this series tells the stories of strong, courageous people, and especially women.

Chelsaamie: I got a few of these books and keep them on show in my 4 year olds room. We have read them and it's a good way to talk about these people and they start asking questions which is really good. They are kind of long though so I may have gotten the shorter version if I knew they existed at the time but it's fine. still would recommend.

Sue: Great positive story of young black girl who grows up through adversity to become successful in her career . Story told without all of the sad details but sensitive hints at a hard life, which are constructive. Great to see a book that instill hope in children so young. Also speaks about racism but in a sensitive way. Great book, enjoyed by young girls. Girls were Very impressed by what happened when she grew up. Fantastic book for kids / parents library or foster parents library . Good story of hope & change

Brandon Cooper: 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!!!
