About this ebook

Starring the special bond between sisters throughout history, with beautiful full-color illustrations, this fun and inspiring 208-page biography collection from author-illustrator Aura Lewis is perfect for fans of Rad American Women A-Z and the Women in Art/Science/Sports series.

Sisters are spectacular! They can be your biggest cheerleaders, your most trusted confidants, and your much-needed fashion advisors (as long as they’re not stealing your clothes!).

But sisterhood can also be complex: full of rivalry, jealousy, and not-so-friendly competition. From pop culture sensations like the Kardashians/Jenners to civil rights activists Coretta Scott King and Edythe Scott Bagley to tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams, these sisters—and so many others throughout history—have not only impacted art, culture, and society, but also illustrate the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood.

At the end of the day, whether you’re mortal enemies or best friends, spectacular sisters will always have your back. Share this book at home or in the classroom. It's a great source for capsule biographies of a wide variety of powerful women.

Featured in Mother Mag's "50+ Crowd-Pleasing Gifts for Kids" guide!

The art is also spectacular, the prose compact yet clear, the choices for profiles is well planned, but the ebook presentation sadly lacking. I think that this would be marvelous and motivating in print as the sisters chosen from around the globe and in the past couple of centuries is inspired and inspiring. The format is colorful and yet simple without being Grandma Moses. I think this book appeals to all ages and yet is suitable for ESL. If not your style, get one for your local library (who will be thrilled!). I requested and received a free ebook copy from HarperCollins Children's Books/Quill Tree Books via NetGalley.
