"For children ages 9+ comes this new series from B.E.S. which focuses on showcasing women that have achieved something extraordinary. The Brilliant Women Book Series is one to read to both boys and girls as everyone can enjoy the illustrated, interesting stories. I have 3 girls and I want them all to reach for the stars and be or do anything they want to do. These books contain inspiring information on women that I want my girls to learn more about. From famous scientists to less famous artists each and every woman featured has done something amazing. The books do a great job of highlighting the important yet interesting parts of their lives. At the end of each book is a section that highlights what your child can do today to help develop the knowledge or skills needed to help them learn more. Learning to code, going to museums or entering local art competitions are just a few of the many examples they give. These are an incredible set that we will be keeping on the bookshelf for casual reading and for reference."
