Bright. Beautiful. Colorful. This board book has 15 diverse and inspirational women, all reminding us to follow our dreams. The illustrations are very sweet. My 2-year-old daughter likes to point out all the things she knows the words for. I love that at the end, there's a small blurb about each of the women featured in this book.
