Just How Big Can a Little Girl Dream?
Ask Isabella...
She takes a wild ride--and discovers the sky's the limit

"This story...speaks frankly about self-identity and self affirmation as Isabella decides at the end that she is actually herself...because she possesses the best parts of all of the women she looks up to."--ForeWord Magazine

"The colorful mixed-media artwork reinforces the fanciful, upbeat tone of the book. Use this story to ignite young readers' interest in women's history."--School Library Journal

Who Is Your Hero?

Isabella's include U.S. Astronaut Sally Ride, activist Rosa Parks, and sharpshooter Annie Oakley--but there's no bigger hero than Isabella's own mommy

Join Isabella on an adventure of discovery--and find out how imagining to be these extraordinary women teaches her the importance of being her extraordinary self. Inspire your little one to dream big right alongside Isabella with this feminist book for little girls. Perfect for fans of She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton, My Name is Not Isabella inspires young readers' interest in women's history.
