Here is another excellent biography for kids. This time readers will learn about how young Gloria Steinem became a well-known and capable advocate for women’s rights.

Even adults may learn some things about Gloria that they did not know. For example, for many years, she and her family lived in a trailer and traveled. This all changed when Gloria was ten and her parents divorced. It was after this that young Gloria was exposed to the ways in which boys and girls were treated differently. This was not okay! Gloria’s life purpose became to stand up for women. She became a journalist and went on from there. Her contributions to feminism are now well-known.

The illustrations in this title are lovely and evocative. They add to the enjoyment of the book. All in all, this is another excellent entry in a series that invites children to aspire. As always, there are sections of additional information at the end of the book.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a very smart and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
This little book tells the story of Gloria Steinem, who's considered the world's most famous feminist. Her work and life are truly inspirational!

There are some entries in this series that feel disjointed, like either they were rushed to press or like the creators couldn't figure out how to distill the subject's story into picture book length. This was one of those entries. I also wish that some of the BIPOC women who influenced Steinem's work and worked with her where named in the book itself, not just the afterword bio.

We love these books. What an important book on a very important person. This gives children enough information without being so overwhelming.

Thank you NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a really cute and educational book about the life of Gloria Steinem! Steinem is one of my biggest inspirations and I think it’s great that you guys have written a book to teach more children about her and her life’s work.

However, my one complaint about the book is that I’m not sure the page about the “bunny” is appropriate for such young kids… it could possibly bring up unwanted questions about the meaning behind it. I really enjoyed everything else though, including the super cute artwork, and I like the areas that were highlighted about her life in the book. I also really liked that you included actual pictures of her at the end and a timeline of her life.
