She Persisted: 13 American Women who Changed the World
By Chelsea Clinton
Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger
Philomel Books, 2017, Picture Book
Here is a collective picture book biography full of "Girl Power." Ms Clinton starts with a short introduction about being a strong girl. Following that, on each spread, Clinton gives a one paragraph bio and a memorable quote from each of 13 well known American women. Her subjects are varied and interesting, including crusaders like Harriet Tubman, performers like Maria Tallchief and Oprah Winfrey, and scientists like Virginia Apgar. Boiger illustrates the book with watercolor and ink drawing that are accessible and child friendly. This is a great choice for any girl (or woman) who might be facing a challenge and needs a little confidence boost.
