Lauren blogs: Even as a kid, I noticed this: there is a dearth of female role models. I don't mean there aren't enough women to admire - hardly! But I just didn't hear much about them when I was younger. Jennifer Fosberry takes care of that with her wonderful new picture book My Name is Not Isabella. Isabella is a little girl who dreams big - she pretends to be Sally Ride, Annie Oakley (a personal favorite!), Rosie Parks, Marie Curie, Elizabeth Blackwell, and her own mother. After Isabella goes to bed and the story ends, there's a list of the women mentioned along with a brief profile, and a bibliography. Jennifer Fosberry wrote a book that is fun and self-empowering and best of all, she's coming to Mrs. Nelson's! She'll be in the store Mon. Sept. 20th at 4:00 - you can come and listen to her speak, get copies of the book signed (I'm sure we all know at least one girl or guy who could use some heroes!) and ask questions. I just hope she has another book in the works - and I plan to ask her! Click here for more information about this event
