Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this for my two nieces, age 8 and 5. They really enjoy it. I see some people complaining that it's not really written for children, but I've had no problems narrating the text while keeping my nieces engaged. I even do pop quiz questions throughout the story to see if they're retaining the information, and they are. We all enjoy the artwork, and I've found myself reading some of the stories on my own. Yes, there is a story in the book about a transgender child, and that caught all of us off-guard, but the truth is, I'd rather my nieces know the realities of the world so they're not surprised WHEN (not IF) they meet a transgender person (and my sister agreed). By the time they are adults trans people living comfortably in their skin will be commonplace. Regardless of if you agree or not, that is our reality. The book is called Good Night Stories for REBEL GIRLS, not CLOSE-MINDED GIRLS. So if you want to shield your child from trans people, slavery, etc. I don't think this book is for you or your child. If you're open and truly want to educate your child on the great women of the world and their accomplishments, then I highly recommend this.
