Reviews

     "This book is terrific. It is very kid and teacher
       friendly. The layout is exactly what a child needs.
       The tidbits are definitely a plus. From a teacher's
       point of view it is superb."
                -- Patricia Graves, retired fifth-grade teacher

      "For kids . . . Women of Granite is a good one. For
        grownups, it’s a good book to surf through. It brings
        Harriet Wilson . . . to life more than anything else I’ve
         read about her, and the same goes for Granny D. . . .

      "It lives up to its title: these are women you should
        know. It’s just about the sheer accomplishments of
         women . . . worthwhile and presented nicely . . . "

--Lisa Parsons, Hippo Press
