About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts expressing big dreams about what they want to be when they grow up or when they need a boost of confidence to lead a group. It is the perfect choice for a young dreamer who feels a little small in a big world and needs to see that leadership is a path paved by those who came before her. Through the eyes of a purple-haired girl named Isabella, the story weaves together a morning routine with the historical achievements of women in government. As Isabella pretends to be trailblazers like Sandra Day O'Connor and Susanna Madora Salter, she transforms the ordinary act of getting ready into a lesson on civic duty and ambition. This book is ideal for children ages 4 to 8, offering a vibrant blend of imaginative play and historical inspiration. It helps parents frame discussions about justice, patience, and the importance of having a voice in your community.

Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and highly optimistic. It briefly touches on historical barriers to women's leadership, but the approach is celebratory rather than focusing on the trauma of discrimination. The resolution is hopeful and empowering.
