I always enjoy reading the Little People Big Dreams book and Gloria Steinem’s was not exception. It had great illustrations and it made me laugh when they said she did research as a “bunny”. I’m glad the truth was told even if it brings up questions from kids.

Overall great book! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book.

I really enjoy the "Little People BIG DREAMS" series because you can quickly learn a lot about some great people.  This particular book is about Gloria Steinem, who as a little girl realized that she was treated a certain way just for being female.  Gloria is now the world's most famous feminist.  Gloria from a young age realized that women and men should be able to do the same things - and maybe even together.  Once she moved to NY, she found she fit in more and worked hard to have a job and support women.  Gloria teaches us that it doesn't matter what gender you are, what matters is your dream is only yours to determine.

I love how each book ends with a lesson for the young readers (or not so young, in my case) and helps them think about things.  I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

Gloria Steinem is the newest lead in this latest edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This series is such a delight and the perfect way to educate not just kids but everyone about historic and cultural icons.

Gloria Steinem is an American feminist journalist and social political activist who became nationally recognized as a leader and a spokeswoman for the American feminist movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The book follows Steinem as her early work as a journalist to her work for the women's liberation movement.

Lucila Perini illustrates this installment and does a fantastic job. Pereni's art style was so captivating and her art definitely further helped tell Steinem's story. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Received from NetGalley for review.

Gloria Steinem was an inspiration to women fighting for their rights and freedoms. I loved this short book that doesn’t have to be just for kids. I got the cliff notes version of her story and it inspires us adults to educate ourselves more.

Adding this to my future library collection!

Admittedly, I had heard of Gloria Steinem but had no idea why I had or even who she was! This book was very informative and emphasised the importance of fighting for women's rights!

Yes! I have been looking for a good way to introduce my young son and daughter to the powerhouse who is Gloria Steinem. We tried the “Who Is” series about Steinem and while that was well done, it went into a little too much detail about certain subjects that I just wasn’t quite ready to tackle with my young kids. Little People Big Dreams: Gloria Steinem hits it just right for young children! In addition to a succinct yet impactful storyline, the pictures portray the nuances of Steinem’s work and legacy, genius in a children’s book as kids tend to study the pictures intently. I also appreciate the more in depth timeline at the end of the book for older listeners. My kids really enjoyed this and I was so excited to introduce them to one of my heroes. I hope that learning about women in history who paved the way for those who came after plants a seed to inspire them to pick up the torch and carry on the mission when it’s their turn.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Groups - Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for the ARC.

Yet another great addition to this "Little People, BIG DREAMS" series! The detailed, colorful illustrations are really appropriate to telling the story of Steinem's life....a nice compliment to the text, which is informative even at a child's level. I really like this series, & must admit that even this 62 y/o learned something about Steinem that I didn't know! This is a great book for any library!
I received this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group-Francis Lincoln Children's Books, via NetGalley....in exchange for reading it & posting an honest review.

I am a huge fan of Gloria Steinem - such an amazing woman who dedicated her life to public service. Especially the service of furthering women and their rights.
This is a great introduction to her life - her family background, inspiration to take on the plight of women's rights - or lack of, as her calling.
Gloria became a journalist - experienced sexism in the work place. But that wasn't enough for Gloria - she went out and experienced sexual harassment as a server in a male club. Her strength allowed her to build a magazine focusing on women - and it was successful.
Gloria pushed the women's agenda - in society, in politics, in life. This is a great overview.

Another fabulous book in the collection! Firstly I want to mention the illustrations - as always they were gorgeous and I adore the representation and bright colours! I’ve never heard of Gloria Steinem (how I don’t know) so it was amazing to learn about her. Honestly how awesome is she! I love that her grandmother was a suffragist and Gloria is such a huge voice in feminism/women’s liberation. And founding the Women’s Media Centre with Jane Fonda - what a badass! Such a great model for children and a way to teach them feminism/equal rights as they grow. The final message actually bought a tear to my eye: “it doesn’t matter what gender gosh are, what matters is that your dream is only yours to determine”. A perfect addition to the collection; here’s to future feminists and a better world.

Amazing! I love this series and its focus on telling the story of feminist role models in a way that’s appropriate for young audiences. The illustrations were beautiful and moved the story forward. I loved learning more about Gloria Steinem, and I’m sure many other people and their children will too.

I love this series and how each page has 4 lines. The illustrated part of the book gives essential information of the person's life and then there is a detailed 2 page spread at the back that gives even more information. All information is presented in a kid-friendly way. I can't wait to see what else this series has to offer.

I enjoyed this kid friendly biography of Gloria Steinem. As a mom to a little girl I want to teach her about strong women in history. This book does just that! It's written in a way that any child could follow the information and digest it. The illustrations are fun and colorful. Overall I really liked the book and look forward to adding it to my daughters library.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.

Even though this book is aimed at children, I had the BEST TIME reading this as an adult. The message is wonderful and inspiring, but the illustrations really complete the package. Seeing a child Gloria Steinem in her signature glasses really tickled me! And mentioned that she "dressed as a bunny" to learn more about women's working conditions made me laugh out loud. I can't wait to read more of the series! I highly recommend this book!

Great introduction to the life of Gloria Steinem. In recent years, there have been a lot of stellar publications about her life for all ages. This is not the best, but is still a fantastic installment, worth adding to any library collection

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books through NetGalley.
A timely and much needed reminder of the need to stand up for people's rights. Sanchez Vegara shares Gloria Steinem's life with younger readers. She emphasizes Steinem's passion for and commitment to women's lives. The text brings readers from her childhood through her long career. Her willingness to research and report on a wide variety of issues is emphasized and helps readers see how changes can be made by individuals.

Great book that showcases the history of feminism and Gloria’s achievements toward making it accessible to all women. Spending her life speaking for women’s rights! Also she continued her journey as she aged. It shows you are ever too young or too old to make a difference!

Little People, Big Dreams are firm favourites in my KS2 class. I had not heard of Gloria Steinem prior to reading this book and I will be researching her further. The book has beautiful, enhancing illustrations, a bit different from the complement of illustrators that feature in this series. They definitely add a 'difference'' to the story and complement it well - they fit in beautifully with the topic of a leading feminist activist.

I love the brightness and positivity of the book and the timeline at the rear of the book helps to encapsulate the story.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to receive an ARC in exchange for my honest review! All thoughts and opinions are my own.


Okay first off- SUPER cute. Cute illustrations, simple pages for id day age 4-9 to understand. Fairly cheeky- (she researched as a “bunny”). I found this book to be one we will add to our historical figure shelves. As a homeschool mama that doesn’t like sugarcoating history- I appreciated this one a lot.

I've read several of these books and this is one of my favorites. This is a perfect way to introduce how some fight for change to fight inequities. The book is filled with gorgeous illustrations and easy-to-understand text!

Little People, Big Dreams Gloria Steinem… This may be my favorite book in the series for the illustrations! A favorite series of excellent educational books for young readers. The illustrations are great for the younger Kiddo's, the information is relevant for a range of ages & sparks excellent conversation. The timelines in the back of the books are great. No matter the age, everyone will learn something by reading these books ❤
