Standing On Her Shoulders: A Celebration of Women

Written by Monica Clark-Robinson and Illustrated by Laura Freeman

A stunning love letter to the important women who shape us – from our own mothers and grandmothers to the legends who paved the way for girls and women everywhere.

Standing on Her Shoulders is a celebration of the strong women who influence us – from our mothers, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers to the women who fought for equality and acceptance in the United States. The book encourages young girls to learn about the powerful and trailblazing women who laid the path for their own lives and empowers them to become role models themselves.
