Reviews
"This book is terrific. It is very kid and teacher
friendly.
The layout is
exactly what a child needs. The tidbits are
definitely a plus. From
a teacher's point of view it is
superb."

Patricia Graves, retired fifth-grade teacher
"For kids . . . Women of Granite is a good
one. For grownups,
it’s a good book to surf
through. It brings Harriet Wilson . . .
to life more than anything
else I’ve read about her, and the
same goes for Granny D. . .
.
"It lives up to its title: these are women you
should know . . .
It’s just about the sheer
accomplishments of women . . .
worthwhile and presented nicely . . . "
--Lisa Parsons, Hippo Press-
