The Little People, Big Dreams series from Quarto Publishing has released a children’s introduction to the feminist and philosopher Simone de Beauvoir. The book does not delve extremely deep into her beliefs or works, but acts as a brief look for children into a figure many feel is the mother of the feminist movement.
Little People, Big Dreams: Simone de Beauvoir goes through her childhood, as well as her relationship with Jean Paul Sartre. It briefly touches on the fact that her initial works saying women should be free to make their own decisions came across as scandalous in France after World War II.
The book is written by Isabel Sanchez Vergara and lovingly illustrated by Christine Roussey.
Little People, Big Dreams: Simone de Beauvoir is a must read for independent young girls who want to learn about written words that changed the world for women.
