When we seek to inspire young people, it is important to consider the people around them. Young girls could look first to their mothers, who are with them ‘even when they are apart’. Yet further, from Kamala Harris to Hillary Clinton, or women closer to home such as Mary Cassatt, we realise, we are Standing On Her Shoulders.
Monica Clark- Robinson’s text is a stirring, lyrical chant of encouragement and inspiration. She charts the equality seekers and freedom fighters, who face up to adversity and challenge with determination. Thereafter, she offers mini biographies at the conclusion of this non-fiction picture book, of some of her inspirations. Meanwhile, every one is painted magnificently by Laura Freeman.
Standing On Her Shoulders takes the form of sharing the histories to a new generation, so that it seems to be passing on a mantle of knowledge and responsibility.
This book made me want to know more about the people included in the story’s honour board, but also to add the many others whom I respect and admire. Standing On Her Shoulders is a magnificent picture book to be treasured, shared and known.
