I Could Do That! Esther Morris Gets Women the Vote by Linda Arms White. It starts off
In 1820, six-year-old Esther McQuigg studied her mother making tea. "I could do that," she said.
"Make tea?" asked Mama. "The older girls do that."
"But I want to learn," said Esther, and she did.
It goes on to describe many other things she was told she couldn't do, and she did, including helping get women the right to vote in Wyoming and becoming the first woman in the country to hold public office.
DD4 wants to read more books about her now and there are resources listed at the end.
I'm wondering about other picture books you've read that make this kind of connection. Please share!
