I remember several years ago I visited Shirin Shamsi’s home. She read me a story of her heart…a story she wanted to tell…about the Partition and her mother’s experience.
Somehow, Shirin had found the exact perfect way to tell this story. I was connected from the very first moment…and I felt blessed for the opportunity to take a peek at what happened all those long years ago, from the eyes of a child.
Surprise! Surprise! It’s another book birthday…actually, it’s a bit belated because WOMEN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD: A Feminist Book for Children Ages 3-5 came out last week, but I knew this was a book you wouldn’t want to miss. And the lovely Rachelle Burk and her publisher are offering a giveaway of a brand-new copy…so please make sure you leave a comment. Maybe you can tell us who YOUR favorite female role model was when you were a child.
Yes, indeed! It’s time to sing Happy Birthday to another new book!
