This book offers a chance to get to know many Greek women rather than the men. Just some of those kids will meet are Aphrodite, Hera, Pandora, Artemis, Echo, Medea, Medusa and Sappho.
Each woman gets her due with beautiful illustrations, the story of who they are and sections called “Did You Know?” and Symbols. This book is quite easy to dip in and out of with the interesting entries.
Highly recommended for home and school bookshelves. Note that there is a resource section at the end.
Many thanks to Callisto Publishing-Callisto Kids and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.
