Just How Big Can a Little Girl Dream?
Ask Isabella...
She takes a wild ride-and discovers the sky's the limit!
"This story...speaks frankly about self-identity and self affirmation as Isabella decides at the end that she is actually herself...because she possesses the best parts of all of the women she looks up to."
-ForeWord Magazine
"The colorful mixed-media artwork reinforces the fanciful, upbeat tone of the book. Use this story to ignite young readers' interest in women's history."
-School Library Journal
Who Is Your Hero?
Isabella's include U.S. Astronaut Sally Ride, activist Rosa Parks, and sharpshooter Annie Oakley-but there's no bigger hero than Isabella's own mommy!
Join Isabella on an adventure of discovery-and find out how imagining to be these extraordinary women teaches her the importance of being her extraordinary self.

reviewed My Name Is Not Isabella: Just How Big Can a Little Girl Dream? on October 05, 2013 My Name Is Not Isabella: Just How Big Can a Little Girl Dream?
I don't usually review children's books, but I really had to with this one.
I randomly bought this for my daughter at the school book fair; it was closing in ten minutes, so I had to make a quick decision. To be totally honest, I grabbed it because:
1) It was the only one I saw with a girl character who wasn't a princess
2) It was less than five bucks. Swish.
I looked at the cover and the subtitle, "just how big can a little girl dream?", saw the row of hats (e.g., astronaut helmet, head mirror, kerchief). I assumed it was encouraging girls to dream big and achieve good stuff out in the world. I support that goal but also found myself fantasizing about stories like that including motherhood as a worthwhile, commendable achievement.
When I eventually got the chance to read my daughter this book, I felt so happy that it exists, so proud of my intuition (okay, luck) in finding such a lovely book. I don't want to give it all away, but it not only encourages girls to dream big and achieve, it also weaves in actual, strong, intelligent women from history. AND, it even fulfilled my fantasy of validating motherhood as a worthwhile use of a woman's time, talent, and brains.
I kind of feel weepy thinking about it. I'm so proud to be an owner of this book, so proud to be a woman living today, so proud to share this book and my own thoughts about the strength and intelligence of women with my daughter, and my son. And my husband. And with all of you. I could share more, but my review is already longer than the book!
Seriously, go find it wherever you can. It will make us best friends.
