Super educational, I have even learned things reading this book.

In today’s world everyone knows the name of Taylor Swift, but did you know that kids used to make fun of her, and tease her until she felt she would never fit in?

I what more story's because their are a lot more encouraging storys .I will show this book to my friend Lily she will love it! I gave this book four stars because their are more true and inspiring story's you all need to put in! Like Anne Wilson and lots more!

I liked that it was short, but wish there were more stories. It is very inspirational l. But sometimes when you read these kind of books you don't feel accomplished because of what those people have done

This was a gift, and the young lady (11) absolutely loved it

This book is inspiring, and fun. I wish I would of had it when I used to teach school. One of my many jobs was an NCR electronic technician and I was the only female repair person.

"Girls Like Me" is an empowering guidebook for young dreamers, introducing motivating childhood stories of iconic women. From astronauts to athletes, musicians to mathematicians, these captivating tales inspire confidence, courage, and heart. With relatable illustrations and thought-provoking questions, this book encourages self-belief and passion for learning in young readers. A must-read for building strong self-esteem.

This is a very good, interesting, book but it’s a cheap digital print copy by Amazon: I’d expect better quality for the price.Having said that, 8-year-old loves it and told me she doesn’t care what it looks like.

This book has many many examples of inspiring stories and they seem to have been carefully selected to cover a wide range of successes and niches within which the characters have been successful. It even includes Taylor Swift which I wasn't expecting since these types of books usually include only famous scientists and artists (in the more traditional sense). I also enjoyed the art style and the way that the explenations where very age appropiate and therefore accessible to young kids

I loved that these stories of awesome women have been adapted so well for young readers. I especially liked when the story captured the qualities of the women that demonstrated their resilience, or hard work developing their talent, or sheer "stickability", the writer incorporates some questions to the young reader to help them think about how they can incorporate such qualities. That makes for a more interactive quality to this book.
