I received this book for free from Rockstar Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Little Dreamers: Bold Women in Black History by Vashti Harrison blew everyone away last year and rightly so. She's back this year with 40 more women of international flavor.

Check out Little Dreamers: Visionary Women Around the World below with my review and pictures, a giveaway and more tour stops to check out!

IMHO: LITTLE DREAMERS Visionary Women Around the World

THIS IS SO ADORABLE AND INFORMATIVE. I really do not care for nonfiction in most cases. But this is straightforward, engaging, not condescending, and  a burst of sunshine.



The illustrations are adorable, realistic, and the backgrounds are detailed.

 



 





It's a good mix of the well known and the obscure. I think it's a good sampling across the world and not US centric. (But I'm USAian so YMMV).

Oh, did I mention how there's BONUS mini features of more women in the back? This is followed by further reading, a source list, and a glossary.



I was disappointed there was only like one Native/Indigenous woman featured. So I want to drop a link to a Wiki list for perusal. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the leap forward from the midterm elections! (And mention Connie Walker from Canada's CBC with her kickass podcast Missing & Murdered)

That one minor sore spot of mine aside, this book is fantastic. Everyone should read it and own it. Forget the photo coffee table books, leave Little Dreamers books out instead.
