This is a cute and accessible introduction to the life and work of Dr. Sara Josephine Baker, and I'm glad I was able to access it from my library. Monica Kulling has a gift for sharing the figures of STEM history with children today.

I love learning about new historical figures. And by new, I mean new to me, and new to other readers as well. This story biographies the life of Dr. Sara Josephine Baker, the first pediatrician for the New York City Department of Child Hygiene. She helped develop rules, medical practices, and clothing for children that we take for granted. She focused a lot on poor immigrant children in Hell’s Kitchen because that is where she was needed most. While I am not a fan of the artwork, it plays well with the story, and helps progress the ideas of a woman stepping out of time. Quite well done, and a new historical figure to admire.

Thank you to Tundra for a free copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

I am becoming a collector of picture books, but must admit that my picture book collection didn’t include one single biography until Tundra sent this beautiful book my way.
•
I love that they combined beautiful illustrations and picture book format with an informative and inspiring story. I have three daughters and so love placing books in their hands that can be an inspiration to work hard, follow their dreams and serve others.

Dr. Jo is the story of a woman graduating as a physician in 1898 and spending her life helping immigrant families and the children of New York City. It is beautifully written and illustrated, which is just what I have come to expect from @tundrabooks
•
If you are a lover of picture books or are looking to include more biography in your home library, I highly recommend checking out this recently published picture book!
•
Side note: My youngest is named Josephine, which makes this title even more special to have in our home library ❤️
