My Name Is Not Isabella
November 17, 2008
Well, it isn't, but that isn't what this is about. Back when I
started writing for Savvy Source I ran into a wonderful woman named
Jennifer Fosberry who had self published a book. On a whim, I asked
her if I could review it. She actually said yes. I was in shock, and
I've been waiting for months to feel like my review would be read by
enough people. I love the book, and I want as many people as possible
to know how good it is.
When I was a kid, I had a great book about Marie Curie. Due in
part to that book, and my mom, I knew that I could do anything. I hope
that this book is that for M as she gets older. Right now she is very
much into the amazing illustrations. They are filled with a number of
sweet little details that she is excited about seeing. 

As she gets older, she will (hopefully) love the wonderful
story. The little girl Isabella spends her day dreaming of being
amazing women from history. From Annie Oakley to Rosa Parks, she lives
day through history. The ending is perfect (but I'm not giving it
away), and there are little bios of the women from the book at the
end.
I love the book so much, I'm already plotting to give it to all
the little girls I know. It is available from Amazon, or you can buy
it directly from Monkey Barrel Press.
