My Name Is NOT Isabella by Jennifer Fosberry
I love this book! It follows the day of little Isabella, who imagines herself as different strong, historical women. She pretends to be Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, and (my childhood hero!) Sally Ride, among others. Throughout her day, Isabella discovers that she can find the admirable qualities of these women within herself.
At the end of the book, there is a small piece of information about each of the women Isabella pretends to be. It's a great starting point for discovering what characteristics of each woman led her to be an inspiration.
I highly recommend this book for every little girl... and the mommies! One of the kindest, greatest women that Isabella pretends to be is her mommy. Reminds me to try to live my life to be a woman my daughter can look up to.
