Handbagshoes: This is a cool book that tells the stories of 40 badass black women who rocked our world. From Maya Angelou to Bessie Coleman, these ladies were total trailblazers in their fields. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the writing is easy to understand, even for kids. If you want to be inspired and learn something new with your kids or for your kids to read then this book is for you.

maksim: I love the way this book is formatted! I find it so cute, it's an amazing book for kids and parents/adults alike, I learn something new and together we learn about more black men in history than school has ever taught me.

Things to know:

Every 2 pages of this book has a different historical figure, the first page including the name and span of life from birth year to death year with either whole paragraphs (or several) detailing the life of the person on a surface level and their impacts on history. The second page is an adorable illustration of the figure that I personally would say adequately captures the figures likeness.

This book is long! It covers more than 50+ black men throughout history, however due to this the summary of their lives isn't in great nor deep detail. It is just enough information to have a general introduction or understanding of said history figure.

For those wondering whether Martin Luther King Jr is included in this book- yes, just not on an individual page but instead on a page towards the end of the book that lightly covers other figures that we don't specifically touch on earlier in the book.

The book is great to...

chelsea: This is definitely a book that can be read to any child and great for adults as well.

I got this book for my 4 year old nephew. He won't understand it fully now, but he will soon realize how many opportunities that he has in this world. It isn't limited by where he comes from, his parents, skin color,etc., but he has a limitless amount possibilities for a greater future. One that can leave an remarkable impact.

Miss A M Alves: Bought to go with a book cushion that I made for one of the younger members of the family. Bite size information about each of the individuals in the book, enough for a little one to be able to retain.
