Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. ( ) I have enjoyed the various books I have read from the Little People, Big Dreams series. This particular book taught me about someone that I had not heard of before. Simone de Beauoir was a French philosopher and is often referred to as The Mother of Feminism. Her interest in feminism began when her father sat by and her mother did all the work around the house including preparing all the meals, even when he was not working. As she got older her father told her that "she had the brain of a man" which she couldn't understand why a man's brain was different from a woman's) Just like all the other books in this series, it features stylish and quirky illustrations along with text that describes her background and journey. There are always extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the philosopher's life. This is a child friendly biography that shows a young woman striving to achieve her dream. This book could be used to teach young children how to write a biography, show that it is important to have a dream and strive to achieve it. It would be wonderful to be able to get a boxed set of this series for any school library. The publisher, Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, generously provided me with a copy of this book upon request. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own. Vegara's Simone de Beauvoir is part of the young readers series Little People, Big Dreams. Each book in the series explores the early life of a famous figure, with a focus on what inspired them along their paths when they were children. Simone's father sent both her and her sister to school so they could get an education and not need a man to take care of them. Simone went on to go to college, and become a philosopher and writer. Today, she is considered the mother of feminism. At the back of the book is a section with photographs, and a more in-depth life history. Perfect for young readers interested in history and philosophy. Just one random thing- either Sartre had a lazy eye that moved from one eye to the other or he had a prosthetic eye that was never straight. In every picture, one of his eyes is looking toward the ceiling and the other not. Just sayin… ***Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. Simone de Beauvoir (Little People, Big Dreams)by Isabel Sanchez Vegara, Christine Roussey is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This is a wonderful book especially for girls to be a role model. Simone grew up when girls were thought of as not as smart as men. Simone was smart and her dad said she must have a boy's brain. She was smart enough to get into a school that no other women had ever went to. She was the first to publish a book. All of these things shocked people because she was a women and they thought women weren't smart. But women read her book and and liked what it said. She was the start of feminism. This tells a lot more and has real pictures of her in the end. Nice book! ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"When Simone de Beauvoir was a little girl, her father would proudly boast that she had the brain of a man--whatever that meant. But later, after years of studying, Simone would write a book that challenged the role of women in society, sending show waves around the world."--Back cover. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
