A review by ljrinaldi
The People Awards by Lily Murray
4.0
When you start to look at picture books about famous people, your eyes start to glaze over. There are so often the same people mentioned again and again. OK, we know about Marie Curie, and Leonardo Devinci and Albert Einstein. So although these people are included in this collection, there are many that I have heard of in passing, or never heard of at all, so I'm glad this collection has been put together.
We also get to learn about Mary Aning, who collected fossils, and studied them, but was not allowed to do much else, because she was woman in the early Victorian era. Or Vincent Lingaiari, sturggled to gain aboriginal rights in Australia.
Did you know who the first woman in sapce was? That falls to Valentina Tereshkova.
And Wangari Maathai, who started the green belt movement in Kenya.
THis could be an excellent addition to your public library, as well as your paersonal one.
