I would like to bring you a children’s book to help our children prepare for the Upcoming Presidental Election. Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History by Vashti Harrison from Hachette Books who sent me a physical copy of the book for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
My family enjoyed how the bestselling author and artist Vashti Harrison pairs captivating text and beautiful illustrations as she tells the stories of both iconic and lesser-known female figures. Among these biographies, readers will find heroes, role models, and everyday women who did extraordinary things.
If Charlie and I were still #Homeschooling we would have used in our History Class but Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History is also perfect for February when we celebrate Black History Month. Charlie and I liked the illustrations on the cover of the book.
Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History is a chapter book for Upper Elementary Students but there is #teachingmoments all through the book for both adults and children of all ages. Come and sit with Charlie and I as we read the stories.
My favorite was Oprah Winfrey who has done so much for so many people and is a idol of mine. Then there was a chapter on Harriet Tubman which was Charlie’s favorite chapter. David liked Rosa Parks and so did Charlie and I.
These are just a few of the women you will find in Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History which I hope you pick up to share with your friends and family. Once you finish the book check out the section on further learning to keep teaching not only your children but yourself as well.
