She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton

5.0

The artwork is so beautiful and the message is so sweet. The quotes were a nice touch. The choices of women highlighted seemed random but covered many spheres of influence and diversity. I love that they used Claudette Colvin's name and described how she "inspired" Rosa Parks instead of just defaulting to that story. I feel like the language and ideas here are a bit too advanced for the age-group they are targeting, but with a patient and knowledgeable adult, this is a book that could inspire many questions and all kinds of fantastic learning. The actual writing is just okay, but I can't get over the beautiful illustrations, or the fact that books like this exist for our young girls today.
