Shaking Things Up: 14 Young Women Who Changed the World Hardcover – 8 February 2018

Can't wait to use this in the fall enrichment units.

Gorgeous illustrations and wonderful poems! There are poems about wonderful women of all races and ages from the first female firefighter in the US to Mary Anning

Bought this for my granddaughter and she loved it.

As a mental health professional who has worked with children for over 20 years, I have had the pleasure of reading many children's books and have become passionate about a handful, knowing what a multilayered impact they can have on children and the adults who read with them. This book is spectacular! It is timely, beautifully written and contains a powerful message to young girls and to all of us. There are nuggets of inspiration and interesting fact throughout the book from the quotes embedded in the pictures to the beautifully varied verse that brings the stories of each person to life to the different styles of each illustrator. It is understandable for children but far from simple and profoundly affected me as I read. I highly recommend this book for all ages up through middle and even high school. If I had to choose one word to describe 'Shaking Things Up', I would say 'Inspirational'!

Great book! My daughter loves the stories and pictures
