- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received this book from Goodreads First Reads program for an unbiased review.Despite this book being for Elementary students, I learned a lot myself. I didn’t even know that Harriet Tubman and Susan B. Anthony were alive during the same time period. It is also amazing to know that almost 100 years ago women could not even vote!I wish I had read this book when I was in elementary. It is very inspiring. It could show a young girl, or anyone of color, not to let what some consider as weakness hold them back!The illustrations were beautiful and fit the story perfectly. I loved how they had tea and discussed their stories. One page would be about Susan, the next about Harriet; it flowed seamlessly. Also it was a conversation and that helped the book feel like you were there as a third-party listening.Children: I think this would be great for all children ages 7 to 12. I would really think this book would be excellent for a teacher to read this to their class. Also if someone has a child interested in art, the illustrations alone are worth the price of the book.Parents: I believe parents would also enjoy reading this story. I learned so much I was never taught in school about both of these important historical figures. It could lead to wonderful conversations between you and your child about history.
