A must have picture book!

A must read for every little girl. My Name Is Not Isabella: Just How Big Can a Little Girl Dream? by Jennifer Fosberry. Why is this book so special because it opens the world to a little girl and her inner strength to do the impossible. Isabella wakes up one morning only to tell her mother that her name is not Isabella. Who is this little girl, asks her mother. With each page she becomes someone new. Isabella’s adventure begins with U.S. Astronaut Sally Ride, activist Rosa Parks, Madame Curie and many others. But in reality the biggest hero is of course Isabella’s own mommy. This book is a beautifully illustrated and well-written story that every little girl must have on her own bookshelf to look at over and over again.

 

Jennifer Fosberry is a Bay Area author and mother. My Name is Not Isabella was her first book that came out in September of 2010 and just recently the boy version of this book was published, My Name is Not Alexander. This story has the same premise about a little boy being anyone that he wants to be from Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison to Jackie Robinson. But of course in the end, who is the biggest hero, dad. Two fabulous picture books that are an inspiration to children everywhere! We can’t wait to see what Jennifer Fosberry has in store for us next.
