This book would be great for the older grades. When the books start to become more informational and in depth, I think that it would be beneficial for the older grades. This would be a great book to highlight the importance of women. It can be entertaining, but also seen as controversial, so take caution while reading through it with children. It is an easy book for children to identify the characters.
pickBiography: Frida Kahlo by Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Published in 2015.
Biography of Frida Kahlo. This book follows the life of Frida Kahlo from her as a child to the impacts she made through her paintings as an adult. It doesn't stray away from the hardships she went through and how she overcame them.
The illustrations are vibrant like her paintings a tell a beautiful story.

“She dispelled the myth that sharks must keep moving to stay alive.”
This could be an excellent book for students interested in the ocean or sharks. This could also be a great book to do a classroom lesson with, if students as studying the ocean.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must read for all women; for all humans. Why would you not strive to learn more about our species? I didn‘t expect to laugh out loud so much. Not in a funny haha way, but at the preposterousness of the things people believed, and continue to not understand, about women and their bodies. Stop telling us our “issues” are psychosomatic simply because you don‘t know, nor care to find out, the answer!! Such a good read.

I would be remiss not to mention the relations between British men and Indian women. As detailed by de Courcy, while the initial British occupation had looser laws and regulations, by the mid-nineteenth century, the British strictly forbade couplings.
However, we all know what can happen...
The lasting legacy of Anglo-Indian descendants is complicated. Article from the Royal Historical Society linked below. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
4. de Courcy details the climate, vegetation, and bugs (shudders!) that faced the British women upon arrival. Moldy shoes within 24 hours! I cannot imagine (I am not a fan of the heat and humidity).
Victorian social mores also restricted women from adopting cooler clothing. The part about flannel was shocking.
de Courcy also mentions coping mechanisms used. Any stand outs for you? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
