She Persisted Around the World: 13 Women Who Changed History | 
pickShe Persisted by Chelsea Clinton tell the tale of 13 American women who have made a difference around the world. This book uses real life stories to introduce young children to women who have continued to break barriers. This book helps to empower females to step out of the box and create the change they wanna see in the world.
pickAs a self-proclaimed feminist, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Chelsea Clinton‘s NF book about women changing the world despite all odds being against them. I would use this book in the classroom as a readers theatre, as beautifully demonstrated in class the other day. The ESOL strategy I would use would be #28. Provide biographies of significant men and women from different countries. The UDL strategy used would be for perception, offering ways of

I like this book. I know some don't, but I don‘t understand why. It is a primer on women around the world who have done amazing things, and helped make our world a better place. Some are artists, athletes, teachers, doctors etc. All had to overcome someone saying no. They persisted. And while some names like Malala, Rowling, and Curie, there are women who have not appeared in other books for children.
This book is written by Chelsea Clinton and Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. This book is a B and talks about many women through their different times where they fought for equality with education, freedom, creating medical tools and becoming a reporter this book entails girls and show women to not think anything is impossible. So these thirteen women that the book goes over have persisted. #ucflae3414su19
pickI was introduced to this PB (B) at the KETSS! Immediately after reading it I knew I had to share it! It is a powerful book about 13 amazing women around the world who has truly made a difference! I would definitely use this as a RA! This book was written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. Definitely a must have for your classroom! #LAE3414Sp19
pickI enjoyed this, and I thought a decent selection of women was chosen to represent women from around the world. I thought it was much better done than the first book, which I thought suffered from shoehorning the phrase "she persisted" in where it was inappropriate to use the word. This is one I would definitely be more inclined to recommend for someone looking for bio collections about women for younger children.

pickGot this cute yet intersectional sequel to Chelsea Clinton‘s first book as part of my donation to the Holiday Gift Drive at the local women‘s shelter. I like the diversity of the girls & women Clinton selected. #girlpower #kidsbooks #givebooks

pick🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 -I think I might like this one better than the first book. The author selected 13 very interesting international women! They are all wonderful role models that every little boy & girl should hear about early on in their life. I can‘t wait for my teachers to use this book and a variety of other books I purchased in their classroom. They are a great role models. I learned about a few new people in this book that I now want to research.
Not a great picture, but Chelsea Clinton was a fabulous speaker this morning at Children‘s Institute.
pickTGIF! A little light reading to wind down after a challenging week.
Tonight I have a book discussion for which I am uncharacteristically unprepared (I finished it about a month ago, and didn't capture my notes before I returned the book). I am, however entirely prepared for the wine & snacks segment of the evening. 🍷
Happy weekend reading, my dear Littens! 📚🍷💙
Working at a library conference selling books.
Of course mom, aka me, was taking way too long at the book fair according to the family. I am sending the son back tomorrow to pick up The Wishing Tree - the spring fair is 50% off so no guilt! (That‘s a cute Wonder tote.)
Just realized this one isn‘t on order at my library. I better do something about that 🤣
Me and the little one meeting Chelsea Clinton this evening.
