Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
She Persisted Around the World
Chelsea Clinton · 2018
78/100
👍 Worth It
Chelsea Clinton widens the lens of her popular series to spotlight 13 women from around the globe who refused to quit, and Alexandra Boiger's warm watercolors make every page feel like a celebration. The one-page-per-woman format keeps things accessible for young readers but leaves depth on the table — curious kids will need another book to go deeper. Still, as an introduction to global female history for the 5–9 set, it earns its place on the shelf.
