When Seattle Reader learned that I was not finding picture books that I enjoyed, this recommendation arrived: of Thee I Sing: a Letter to My Daughters, by Barack Obama and illustrated by Loren Long. What a wonderful and inspiring book it is! It features 13 Americans, of great diversity, each having an impact on the United States.

This lead me to another inspiring picture book: I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark, by Debbie Levy and illustrated by Elizabeth Baddeley. This is a biography of a strong, intelligent, fierce and stubborn woman, and I loved every word!
