Another strong presence to inspire children， Gloria Steinem has become a part of the Little People， Big Dreams series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara。 It explains terms in an age-appropriate way to inspire and motivate our little learners。 The details are my favorite part of this series， such an easy book to take and build a small study because of the great use of vocabulary and impactful history。

I always enjoy reading the Little People Big Dreams book and Gloria Steinem’s was not exception。 It had great illustrations and it made me laugh when they said she did research as a “bunny”。 I’m glad the truth was told even if it brings up questions from kids。 Overall great book！ Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book。

Thanks to NetGalley， the creators， and the publisher for this free copy in exchange for an honest review。Any time I review a children's book， I get the input of the children in my life as I think their opinions of books created for them matter more than my opinion。 I'm a babysitter and run the children and teen comic book club at my local library。 During club meetings， we've discussed the importance of picture books as they're often our first steps into reading。 The kids found it interesting whe Thanks to NetGalley， the creators， and the publisher for this free copy in exchange for an honest review。Any time I review a children's book， I get the input of the children in my life as I think their opinions of books created for them matter more than my opinion。 I'm a babysitter and run the children and teen comic book club at my local library。 During club meetings， we've discussed the importance of picture books as they're often our first steps into reading。 The kids found it interesting when I said picture books can be seen as a form of a comic book。 Essentially they're both the art of storytelling through pictures and words。Throughout the year， we focus strongly on diversity。 With that comes the kids learning about historic figures and events they wouldn't otherwise learn about through our public school system。 By introducing the idea that picture books and comic books are a part of the same bookish family they've said that the best route of finding historic events and figures to discuss more thoroughly is through reading picture books first。 Picture books enhance their need for constant discovery。 It's a taste of the stories they want to read and a glimpse at the lives that inspire them。 Today I asked if any of them knew who Gloria Steinem was。 With the kids I babysit， none of them knew who she was。 At the library club， a couple of kids recognized the name from the books they read on their own， but most didn't know her。 We read this book out loud and they all had questions， including what the bunnies were。。。 that was an umm。。。 interesting discussion to tiptoe around as there are certain rules and policies in place I have to keep in mind during all of our discussions。 Overall， the kids enjoyed the art， and most wanted to learn more about Gloria。 After we read in the club， we always do a private rating with a 0-5 star scale， with half points included。 The average score was 4 stars， and everyone felt comfortable with keeping that score。 （Sometimes， if there are vastly different views of a book， they'll debate if a book should be raised or lower half a star） The kids I babysit raise their hands if they like a book and keep them down if they didn't like the book。 All but one raised their hands。 The only grievance that kid had was that some of the noses looked weird。 We're in a state that's currently banning books。 The books being targeted are largely by and about people of color， marginalized religions， the lgbtq+ community， and feminism。 I wasn't aware of the "Little People Big Deams" series before seeing this and the Amanda Gorman book on NetGalley， but， with nearly 100 books out now， it's for sure going to be something we add to our club。 This is a fun introduction to one of the many women who have paved the way towards gender equality。 The art is modern yet perfectly emphasizes the aesthetics of the past 80 years。 Feminist or not， this is an important book for historical representation。 。。。more

Yes！ I have been looking for a good way to introduce my young son and daughter to the powerhouse who is Gloria Steinem。 We tried the “Who Is” series about Steinem and while that was well done， it went into a little too much detail about certain subjects that I just wasn’t quite ready to tackle with my young kids。 Little People Big Dreams: Gloria Steinem hits it just right for young children！ In addition to a succinct yet impactful storyline， the pictures portray the nuances of Steinem’s work and Yes！ I have been looking for a good way to introduce my young son and daughter to the powerhouse who is Gloria Steinem。 We tried the “Who Is” series about Steinem and while that was well done， it went into a little too much detail about certain subjects that I just wasn’t quite ready to tackle with my young kids。 Little People Big Dreams: Gloria Steinem hits it just right for young children！ In addition to a succinct yet impactful storyline， the pictures portray the nuances of Steinem’s work and legacy， genius in a children’s book as kids tend to study the pictures intently。 I also appreciate the more in depth timeline at the end of the book for older listeners。 My kids really enjoyed this and I was so excited to introduce them to one of my heroes。 I hope that learning about women in history who paved the way for those who came after plants a seed to inspire them to pick up the torch and carry on the mission when it’s their turn。 Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Groups - Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for the ARC。 。。。more

Received from NetGalley for review。 Gloria Steinem was an inspiration to women fighting for their rights and freedoms。 I loved this short book that doesn’t have to be just for kids。 I got the cliff notes version of her story and it inspires us adults to educate ourselves more。 Adding this to my future library collection！

Little People， Big Dreams are firm favourites in my KS2 class。 I had not heard of Gloria Steinem prior to reading this book and I will be researching her further。 The book has beautiful， enhancing illustrations， a bit different from the complement of illustrators that feature in this series。 They definitely add a 'difference'' to the story and complement it well - they fit in beautifully with the topic of a leading feminist activist。I love the brightness and positivity of the book and the timeli Little People， Big Dreams are firm favourites in my KS2 class。 I had not heard of Gloria Steinem prior to reading this book and I will be researching her further。 The book has beautiful， enhancing illustrations， a bit different from the complement of illustrators that feature in this series。 They definitely add a 'difference'' to the story and complement it well - they fit in beautifully with the topic of a leading feminist activist。I love the brightness and positivity of the book and the timeline at the rear of the book helps to encapsulate the story。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to receive an ARC in exchange for my honest review！ All thoughts and opinions are my own。Okay first off- SUPER cute。 Cute illustrations， simple pages for id day age 4-9 to understand。 Fairly cheeky- （she researched as a “bunny”）。 I found this book to be one we will add to our historical figure shelves。 As a homeschool mama that doesn’t like sugarcoating history- I appreciated this one a lot。
