Book recommendations for little feminists?

[hatethinkingupnamechanges]

I have a number of pre-school aged nieces and would like to build them each a little library of age-appropriate books about awesome women, and books that encourage them to believe they can do anything and still be a girl.

So far I have books from the "Little People, Big Dreams" series:

Ada Lovelace,
Emmeline Pankhurst,
Rosa Parks,
Marie Curie,
Jane Goodall,
Anne Frank,
Amelia Earhart.

And a storybook "Counting on Katherine" about Katherine Johnson.

Does anyone have any more recommendations?

Rosie Revere, Engineer is fab. I think there’s a few others in that series too.

Three Wise Women by Mary Hoffman makes for a nice alternative Christmas Story.

Not All Princesses Wear Pink
Violet the Pilot
Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World
The Worst Princess by Anna Kemp and Sara Ogilvie
Malala’s Magic Pencil
Amelia to Zora
Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman
I Like Me by Nancy Carlson
Rapunzel’s Revenge

One of my very good friends bought my daughter "The Paper Bag Princess" when she was born. I enjoyed it myself haha.

What age group is revel girls aimed at?

Thanks! These look great!

@wonderbag it doesn't matter if the books are slightly too old, as the toddlers will grow into them!

Books are great gifts to give children when they’re too young to actually want anything. Then when they are old enough you’ll have got in there first and get all the credit for their excellent reading choices. That’s what I tell myself anyway.

Avoid 'Amazingly Great Women who Changed the World' which seems to be a favourite, but grossly over-inflates the role Of Mary Seacole but ignores Florence Nightingale because...well, I think you can guess why

Sorry-fantastic, not amazing

The Tara Binns series is great. It's like a modern girl Mr Ben. Also Rosie Revere engineer and Ada Twist Scientist. The Most Magnificent Thing. Can't remember the author but recmended on The Might Girl website. I'm not a fan of alternative princess type books myself. DD has never been read a princess book by me or shown any desire to be a princess so the deliberately alternative books wouldn't mean much to her.
