Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about fairness or expresses a desire to change the rules of the world. Set against the vibrant backdrop of pre-World War I Paris, this historical adventure follows two girls, Pansy and Atalanta, as they accidentally stumble into the fervent and often dangerous world of the suffragette movement. It is a sophisticated choice for children who are beginning to navigate the tension between following adult rules and standing up for what they believe is right. Through the girls' eyes, readers explore themes of civil disobedience, gender equality, and the courage required to support a cause. The tone is adventurous yet grounded in historical reality, making it an excellent bridge for 9 to 12 year olds who are ready to transition from simple stories to more complex narratives about social justice and personal agency.
