I saw this book at a book fair at the school I was placed in, and it caught my attention, so I bought it. My friend just recently had a baby and she named her Isabella. This book is about a little girl named Isabella, but every time her mom goes and wakes her up she is not Isabella she is someone else. As she says she is another person, she describes what she is doing or where she is. At the end of the book you learn that all the ladies names she says she was they are the names of famous ladies through out women's history. This book contains a lot of quotation marks, so I could use it to teach the students about the meaning and uses of quotation marks. I want my girls to grow up to be strong, independent women. Its important to encourage that from a young age. Its wonderful to play house and have baby dolls, but they need to know that women don't have to be stuck in the kitchen. There is a whole world of options out there that is only as limited as their imaginations. They can do anything they dream of doing with hard work and dedication. "My Name Is Not Isabella" by Jennifer Fosberry is the perfect book to teach young girls about the inner strength of their gender."My Name is Not Isabella" is the story of an adorable little girl who uses her imagination to pretend to be some of history's most influential women. Your child can explore the worlds of courageous women throughout history like Sally Ride, Annie Oakley, Rosa Parks and more. And of course, Isabella also wants to be just like her own mother. Because we all know that there is nothing more rewarding than being a mother and that no one can set a better example for our daughters than ourselves.My daughter and I enjoyed this adorable story and the incredible artwork of Mike Litwin. It conveys a powerful message in a way that is fun and appealing to young girls. Its a story you and your children will want to read again and again and is sure to become a family favorite. Encourage your daughter's imagine with Isabella today!***Complimentary product received in exchange for an honest review***
