My Name is Not Isabella Review & Giveaway

I am excited to tell you about a new children’s picture book coming out this fall, My Name Is Not Isabella. In a world of princesses, fairies and mermaids, Isabella makes way for scientists, doctors and astronauts.

This picture book conveys an empowering and inspiring message that mothers, grandmothers, aunts and sisters will want to pass along to little girls in their lives. The protagonist, Isabella, celebrates everything a woman can be by using her imagination pretending to be some of the groundbreaking women who changed history: Annie the sharpshooter, Rosa the activist, Marie the scientist, and many more.

Jennifer Fosberry, a mother of three, was moved to create this story when she thought about the kind of women that she admired and the kind of women she thought her daughter could be. She included many personal heroes:

Sally Ride
Annie Oakley
Rosa Parks
Marie Curie
Elizabeth Blackwell
And the sixth role model – Mommy

Isabella’s Mommy is the kind of mom that not only encourages, but engages and enhances the imagination of her children. The teachable quality of this heartwarming tale empowers young girls with the knowledge that they can do anything they want while inspiring them to let their own personalities shine.
