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
