<div dir="ltr">I really like the <i>Women in Sports</i>, <i>Women in Arts</i>, etc books by Rachel Ignotofsky. I personally read one profile a day and think it's really interesting and rewarding. Really any kind of books with short profiles of amazing people. In particular, maybe ones about people with disabilities might be good. (Does anyone have a good suggestion for this, particularly? I'd love to hear it!) <i>Little Legends, Little Dreamers, Little Leaders,</i> etc by Vashti Harrison are great. I just got a couple the other day from First Book called <i>Who Did It First </i>by Julie Leung and <i>Black Music Greats</i> by Olivier Cachin. Haven't read either of those yet, but they look awesome. I just love short amazing, inspiring non-fiction profiles, I guess. (And these are all also beautifully illustrated.)</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 5:32 PM Karrie Fisher via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:large">While these books are non-fiction and biographies, they are well written, engaging, and fun.
