Rezensionen / Stimmen
The appeal is very much that of [Goodnight Stories for] Rebel Girls or Frances Lincoln's Little People, Big Dreams series, but this is the only such collection to focus exclusively on black women. * The Bookseller * You'll want to add [this little volume] to your list for the young readers in your life. * New York Magazine * Be bold. Be courageous. Be you. Be true. That's the message of this empowering, informative, and beautifully illustrated book. * Brightly * [Little Leaders] is truly an inspiration * The About to Review Podcast *
