A stunning love letter to the important women who shape us -- from our own mothers and grandmothers to the legends who paved the way for girls and women everywhere. Standing on Her Shoulders is a celebration of the strong women who influence us -- from our mothers, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers to the women who fought for equality and acceptance in the United States. Monica Clark-Robinson's lyrical text encourages young girls to learn about the powerful and trailblazing women who laid the path for their own lives and empowers them to become role models themselves. Acclaimed illustrator Laura Freeman's remarkable art showcases a loving intergenerational family and encourages girls to find female heroes in their own lives. Standing on Her Shoulders will inspire girls of all ages to follow in the footsteps of these amazing women.

Illustrations are beautiful, empowering message for young girls. Loved the vignettes at the back of all the women featured in the book.

I thought this was a sweet book about recognizing and honoring the women that have come before us in order for us to be where we are today. Like many reviewers, I agree that the book would have been better if the women on each page were named on the page, rather than in the back of the book. There were a few people even I wasn't sure about, but once I saw the picture in the back thought "oh, duh."
