Women's History Month Books For Kids

What a time to be alive as a woman! We have come so far as a gender but we still have a ways to go. This year's theme for International Women's Day, on March 8th, was #endthebias.

While these may be big topics to discuss with children - there's nothing like a good children's book to break it down and make it palatable for them. So here it is - a list of children's books that celebrate the accomplishments and importance of women:

2. Dream Big Little One & Think Big Little One

3. Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History

4. The Story of Ruby Bridges

5. She Persisted (Book Series)

6. Little Feminist Board Book Set
