Ahhh, loved this book! The illustrations help tell the story and reminded me of books I loved as a child. And the story is just so inspirational, what's a better word for "inspirational"-that's what this is. I love that Dr. Tererai Trent shared her life with us.

Last month I researched this illustrator for Wikipedia so I checked this out when it was displayed at the library. I wish I had liked it more. As written it felt more like a vanity project than a true-to-life story; it seems some opportunities were missed to talk about the hardships in her life and not just her successes.

A very inspiring biography of an African woman who dreamed of an education, despite being told that it was more important for girls to cook and clean and take care of their children. I'm not sure students would pick this up on their own, but it could be used as a classroom or library read aloud to talk about the power of education and different experiences around the world.
