She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World
by Chelsea Clinton
2017 children’s book award finalist from Goodreads reading list. We thought it would be fun to read a few of the books from the award list and deliver our thoughts.
This is a book I read with my six-year-old daughter, Jovie, and my nine-year-old son, Olsen. Their reviews will follow.
This was a well-thought out book but maybe it could have had a little better flow of how the information was delivered, especially for a younger audience. 3.5 stars
Jovie’s rating: 5 stars
