Many firsts are registered in these entries compiled of two sections: Famous Women and Hooray for Leaders and World-Changers. Included are sportswomen and creators, scientists, pioneers and adventurers.
Presented in a comic strip style that will appeal
to reluctant readers, the fine-lined illustrations are humorous and expressive,
and will delight readers of any age. Biographical information is presented
below the illustrated squares which share the characters thoughts through
speech bubbles. Further informative, annotated historical facts are found in
the margins.
Williams’ characteristic, clever and eye-catching
additions which appear in most of her books are again at the bottom of every
page. In this one, Abe and Dot ask and answer questions of each other
concerning the subject in focus on each double spread.
Williams makes learning history fun. Her delicate
yet detailed artwork commands the reader’s interest and observation skills.
There’s so much to see and learn. Colour is the text’s companion as the reader
is educated and entertained simultaneously. So, let’s join in and celebrate
these courageous and spirited women by acknowledging their contribution to
history and the world.
