Little Leaders Bold Women in Black History Vashti Harrison Vashti Harrison Books Reviews
- I bought this for my friend's daughter, who is white. I'm white and I never had books about black leaders growing up. I think it is utterly important for white kids to learn about how black people have contributed to our culture. I never learned much about that in school as a kid. Teaching kids from a young age conditions them to see all people as equally capable and deserving of respect. Representation matters. She loves the book and loves sharing what she's learned from it with other students in her class.
- My daughter is only 1. I wanted her to really love this book but she's pretty small. Fortunately, she loves the pictures and it's the ONLY book she brings to me at bedtime for not only the photos but it's long for a small baby so we haven't said "The end" yet. This author is talented in her photos of little women depicting leaders. It's informative where even I learn as I read! The wording is easy to understand and there are links in the back to get more information and do extra research. I absolutely love this book.
- Beautiful illustrations with a one page summary of each woman's life. Covers more women than I anticipated, which is a bonus. I love that there is a book covering women from Black history all in one place. I want my four girls growing up to know about women of all races and time periods that have made a difference, not just white girls/women who look like them. I think for women to really move forward in our world, we all (men and women) need to understand all women and their unique contributions in their unique spheres, so thank you Vashti Harrison for providing this beautiful, informative, and well done product so we can have this learning tool in our home for my girls to grow up reading these women's stories.
I included an example of what each Bio page is like. So cute and beautiful and easy to read! - I’m a 28 year old woman and I bought this book for myself! I am completely in love with how soft the cover is and the illustrations are beautiful! This book was needed! I really really hope the author comes out with a book about Bold Men in Black History also
- I purchased this book for my daughter not realizing the bios were as in-depth as they are. I say the illustrations and sort of assumed it was a book geared toward a younger crowd. I’m so glad that I was wrong. The bios included in the book range from women I’d heard of and studied to women I was glad to be learning about. While the bios are in-depth and include complex words, my toddler will sit two to three bios at a time. And I know as she gets older she’ll sit through more and we can discus both the history (and the new vocabulary).
I love it. I hope to see more from Vashti Harrison soon. - I preordered and was bursting with excitement to come home to the package on release day. My just turned 5 year old and I both loved the size, quality, and illustrations of "girls who are brown like me." We decided to read about one of these women each night at bedtime.
I tried to start at the beginning, but we haven't yet talked about slavery and I shudder to explain its horrors to my precious little girl, so I decided to start at the back (Dominique Dawes, gymnast). This reverse historical order seems to resonate well with a young child.
I like the encyclopedic style, with each narrative standing on its own. There is enough said about each woman's childhood to which a little girl can connect.
Excellent work! We are proud to have this addition to our home library. Thank you, Vashti. - Hands down this is one of the cutest and most fulfilling purchases that I have made for my little girl. The illustrations are heartwarming and beautiful, but the information on each of the inspiring leaders is awe inspiring. It's such a great way to teach my little one about the potential she has in her life. I'm planning on gifting it to all of my friends who are expecting babies and have little ones at home.
- Great great great illustrations and content for my beautiful black princess. I didn’t get to fully review the book, but it was captivated and kept turning pages to the point you thought I bought it for myself.
