COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Educational submitted by TLW1998 on July 23, 2019, 9:31pm This series of biographies for children called “Ordinary People Change the World” is excellent. Each book gives a child-level biography of the person starting from when they were a child (so it relates to children). Also, each book has its own inspirational message. The writing is excellent, and these books are filled with cartoon-like younger figures of the person. My preschooler and I both really enjoy reading these books, so much so that we bought quite a few of them.

This book, in particular, is great. We love reading books about successful and strong girls/women (GIRL POWER!). From the book: “I hope that you’ll always stand up for yourself.”

I highly recommend reading this book, especially if you are or have a little girl. It is really inspirational, and it is a great way to introduce children to some of history.
