Why read it?
1 author picked Simone de Beauvoir as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love how beautifully illustrated the Little People Big Dreams series is and how they follow important people in history through their childhood in a very inspiring, fun, and accessible way. They don’t run away from difficult topics, but they are very age-appropriate.
I have a lot of them, and they are brilliant in showing diversity in a lot of different ways and the world-changing impact of being brave and true to yourself.
From Virginia's list on challenging gender stereotypes with your children.
