A Is for Awesome! 23 Iconic Women Who Changed the World Eva Chen Derek Desierto Books Reviews

• I wanted to love this book, I really did! I love Eva Chen and have been following her on IG for ever. I was expecting some of her humor and sparkling personality to show up in her books but this is just awful. Some of the women have a small description of why they’re awesome but then some like Dorothy Hodgkin say D is for Dorothy a crystallographer who won the Nobel Prize for succeeding in the impossible. And that’s it! A little extra research wouldn’t have gone amiss and neither would better writing skills. Some of the female icons have a quote printed which simply doesn’t co-relate to the blurb next to it. And my 3 year old who LOVES reading just didn’t want to read it again. She’s read her Little People Big Dreams books about 50 times and while a little young, still loved the Ordinary People Change the Wod series too.
• This was a gift for my four year old granddaughter who likes it very much. Me too. I was inspired to put a photo of myself in it with a bio so she can know a little bit more about me in my youth. In fact, in future editions, A blank page for grandparents or parents to do this would be a great idea. We need to recognize the famous and infamous women in the world and in our lives.
• Love this book so so much!! It is beautiful to see so many strong women being represented in this book. I bought it for my 1 year old son and his friend, I hope it empowers them and begins to instill the message of equality and support for girls early in their lives. It is written in a very approachable and fun way, the graphics are amazing, and it’s a board book which makes it very practical for little hands!!
• I follow Eva Chen on IG and I think she's so real and down to earth! I was so excited to order this book for my goddaughter's 1st birthday to go along with our contribution to her 529 account. Unfortunately, I had to ship it directly to SF since I live in OC, so I didn't open the package until the day before her birthday party. To my disappointment, the book was all beaten up! Since I didn't have any time to replace it, I embarrassingly wrapped the book up and had to tell my friend what happened. The book is so cute and sends a great message, but I just am so upset about the condition I received it in. Luckily, it is a baby's book, so it will likely end up looking like that so we just helped get it looking like that sooner.
• I was a bit disappointed..I had read previous reviews and they indicated this book would be appropriate for even toddlers ( 3 years and up)...I found it way too mature for my granddaughter...I went ahead and mailed it up to her and will see what her mom thinks about it and whether my granddaughter will actually enjoy it. It’s obviously a board book..so meant for younger children but I just found it not to be what I was hoping for. I think maybe for a child 7 or 8 it would be more absorbed..my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter I think would still like to have books about animals or butterflies..princesses etc..
• Love this book. My daughter loved seeing Juno. She recognized some of the women from the Juno Valentine book which made her smile. We also have a number of the Little People, Big Dreams books and it delighted her to recognize some of the women in this book. The end is absolutely phenomenal. While it’s a board book, it’s great for all ages. There were a few women I was excited to research on my own!
• Purchased this for my granddaughter and she absolutely loved it! What an empowering and motivational book for kids of all ages! Keep up the great work Eva! Come visit a bookstore in Wisconsin sometime!
• I bought this book for my 6 yo daughter - we read together the day I bought it. We discussed all the woman in the book -the impact and change they have made to our world. This book opened her eyes to strong women who she could look up to and find the likeness of each in herself.
  The best part - hearing her re-read the book to her dolls about 10 times already!!
  This book should be a must in all school libraries!!
