Money Plan offers a clever approach to teaching young readers about money, saving, budgeting, and working hard. Monica Eaton and illustrated by Anastasia Cartovenco Here are the books we recommend you share with your young readers during Women’s History Month and throughout the year: Money Plan, written by In honor of Women’s History Month, we’d like to share an expansive book list that focuses on celebrating girls across the spectrum who are taking risks, being leaders, learning lessons, overcoming obstacles, teaching others, and showing this current generation of girls that they too have what it takes to be leaders. Our young children need stories that account for the lived experience of women at the margins who are far too often excluded from women’s history in the United States and feminist spaces. Here at Reading Partners, we believe that in addition to learning women’s historical contributions, this month is also about knowing, being, and raising strong women. |
