I love your books, and so do my kids! My 2 (9 and 11) also loved this graphic novel about Becoming RBG by Debbie Levy.

In reply to Laurie Wallmark. Oh, dear! I'm so sorry! I'll go in and change it right away. Thanks for pointing that out. (Proofreading is not one of my strengths...)

Great list, including a few that are new to me. Thanks for including two of my books (Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine, Grace Hopper: Queen of Computer Code). For the record, though, I'm Laurie Wallmark, not Laura.

Dear Erica,
To this date, I have came across the following pages:
- Social Justice Books for Kids to Teach About Global Issues
- Kid's Books for Women's History Month
- Picture Books to Teach Empathy
- Books to Help Kids Talk about Racism
- Books to Inspire Kids to Change the World
Thank you very much for all your time and passion to create these lists and provided such comprehensive guide for people like me - I am not a parent but I often buy books for donation to public libraries. This time, I am collecting books to be donated to an Islamic Center. Those lists are very helpful when I do the selection. Keep up the good works with your love towards books, Erica

This is great list of books that will defintiely be going on my wish list. Last year I found Who Says Women Can't Be Doctors? The Story Of Elizabeth Blackwell by Tanya Lee Stone and The Watcher: Jane Goodall's Life With The Chimps by Jeanette Winter. Mys second graders loved them both!

What a great list! One to add... My 3rd grade class loved Queen of the Falls by Chris van Allsburg. Very interesting and little known story about the first woman to successfully go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. And of course the illustrations are wonderful!
