I picked up the picture book Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History based on a recommendation.
The book features one page profiles of important black women, from Harriet Tubman to Ella Fitzgerald to Oprah etc. My son was really into this book. He kept flipping through trying to find a new profile for us to read.

I came away from this book with a new list of authors to read, artists to seek out, and musicians to listen to. My interest was also piqued to learn about women I had never heard about before. Others I already knew, but this book taught me new details. The illustrations are beautiful!

I loved reading these mini biographies with my kids! (Would recommend for age 6+ just due to length of words per page; the board book version is a great option for younger readers!)
The wide range of time periods do a great job of demonstrating that Black women were/are influencers at every period of American history (and across all facets of American life), and it was really fun to use the supplemental resources provided at the end of the book to make the women jump off the page in experiential ways.
The illustrations are gorgeous and exactly what you’d expect from a Caldecott Medal-winning artist (though this book did not earn her the award).

Terrific little biographies about forty black women who shaped history in all of its spheres! I think this is great for all ages and all women, but especially young women of color. Every woman in here has an inspiring story and paved the way for future generations, which I think girls deserve to know all about.
