Famous African-American Women Coloring Book

Great supplemental resource for school. I usually let the kids color while I teach the lesson. It helps them focus. I love all the history coloring books from this publisher. Detailed coloring pages for all ages.

Nice little colouring book with added background story to each person, good history anytime of year not just black history month

The book is filled with LOTS of information. This book proves helpful for people of all ages. It is important to educate the entire public on African American history year round. The powerful women in this book have helped framed America.-Stacey Jones

This book has a nice variety of famous women, hitting all of the well-known women in African American history as well as several I had never heard of. Eleven of these women are also featured in the "Great African American Coloring Book". Parents of very young or very sensitive children might want to preview the explanatory paragraphs as a few of them mention difficult topics.The women are arranged in roughly chronological order.Since I was trying to find a full list before purchasing (it does have Ellen Craft!), here you go:Phillis WheatleySojourner TruthHarriet TubmanMary Ann Shadd CaryFrances E.W.

I liked the simplicity of the drawings not being overly detailed, and the brief bios. However, though the bios were very informative, I was disappointed with the illustrator's failure to capture the likeness of the featured women. I've seen several of these women in various forms of the media, and would not have recognized them had it not been for their name printed beneath the illustration.
