"She Believed" by Jean Fischer

This is a special bonus review! We typically do not review short children’s books or books under a certain length, but because we love and promote the book connecting to this new children’s book, we are sharing a little review of it. We hope you enjoy!

 

About this book:

  “Girls are world-changers! . . . And this delightful storybook proves it!
  Just for the girls in your life, ages 5 and up, this collection of twelve extraordinary stories of women of faith will empower girls to know and understand how women have made a difference in the world and how much smaller our faith would be without them. Colorful illustrations complement the true stories of these twelve amazing women:

Gladys Aylward, missionary to China
Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross
Catherine Booth, cofounder of The Salvation Army
Amy Carmichael, missionary to India
Fanny Crosby, blind hymn-writer
Florence Nightingale, founder of modern nursing
Edith Schaeffer, cofounder of L’Abri ministry in Switzerland
Mary Slessor, missionary to Africa
Corrie ten Boom, Dutch watchmaker who helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust of WWII
Mother Teresa, Catholic nun and missionary
Sojourner Truth, Civil Rights leader
Harriet Tubman, leader of the Underground Railroad
  The stories of these courageous women will encourage and inspire young girls to become the world-changers God created them to be!”

My personal Rating-

I love sharing about “100 Extraordinary Stories for Courageous Girls”, so when I saw that there was going to be a younger version, I was quite excited! “She Believed” was a really sweet and short book that would be great for bedtime stories or learning a bit more about women of faith. This series has been very encouraging to see published and I hope there will be a sequel to the main book soon. :)

See y’all on Monday with a new review!
