Review Quotes

"Thank you to Jenifer Bazzit for this book highlighting our 'foreMOTHERS, ' giving children the opportunity to meet new and diverse heroines from our nation's history! The way these inspiring women's stories are woven together creates a truly unique picture of each life, shining a light on their commonalities. Classic heroines like Sacagawea, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, and Harriet Tubman are featured, along with lesser-known women who forged a path to a better country. These stories must continue to be told for generations to keep the fearless, pioneering spirit of these women alive, and within that same spirit may we become fearless and blaze our own trail."--Jaylynn Richardson, Instructional Coach, Midwest City-Del City Public Schools

What a treat to be able to introduce a group of women who have left their mark on this country. Women like Sacagawea, Helen Keller, and Maya Lin are just a few of the ladies that the author explores. This beautifully illustrated and well-written book is full of facts and timelines, and it smoothly flows from one page to the next. This is a must-have for any teacher!"--Shannon Sullivan, M Ed
