AMAZING BABES

Book ID/图书代码： 11980513B62972

English Summary/英文概要： This unique book started life as a heartfelt gift from Eliza Sarlos to her son, Arthur. Eliza says, ‘I just wanted Arthur to know about the incredible things these amazing women were doing. I didn’t want him growing up in a lopsided world when it came to knowing who to respect and admire.’

Now extended substantially, Amazing Babes is an inspirational picture book for kids and adults featuring strong, powerful, and world-changing women from around the globe and across generations — you’ll recognise some, and be delighted to meet the others.

This stunning full-colour book features 20 influential women such as Miles Franklin, the twentieth-century Australian writer and feminist; Emma Goldman, a pioneer of the American women’s movement; Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma’s pro-democracy leader; Gloria Steinem, one of the founders of modern feminism; and Vandana Shiva, the Indian environmental activist, and includes a biography of each woman.

Eliza Sarlos’ words are accompanied by beautiful and playful paintings by the acclaimed illustrator, Grace Lee. Amazing Babes will delight children and parents alike.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 勇氣、堅定、憐憫、永不放棄希望
20位世界上偉大女性

本書是作者Eliza Sarlos為兒子Arthur而寫，她希望兒子了解這二十位改變自己的世界，也改變全世界的偉大女性的事蹟。因為在大部分教材裡，所謂的「偉人」幾乎都是男性，女性的比例非常少，Eliza不希望兒子在「世界上值得崇敬的人物」的議題上，被這偏頗的世界灌輸偏頗的想法，因此寫下此書。書中除了每位女性的肖像畫、一句她們值得孩子學習的重點小標語、也有20位女性的小傳記。

為了出版此書，作者Eliza Sarlos及繪者Grace Lee在群眾集資網站上宣傳此書概念，成功的募得高出目標金額一倍的贊助金額，同時也抓住國際間的注目

Reviews

“While powerful female role models are plentiful, recognition of their contributions is still lacking. Amazing Babes attempts to start a conversation and inspire our children’” — webchild.com.au

“Amazing Babes is a truly gorgeous picture book … The beauty of this book is that it can be read to children of various ages with younger children simply enjoying the illustrations and growing familiarity with famous names and older children being able to go on and research further those women who particularly inspire them … There are simply not enough of these kinds of books being written for children and I hope this one finds plenty of success.”— bluemilk.wordpress.com

“One cannot read this book for the first time without a few tingles down the spine. This is an important and inspiring book and will appeal to those interested in current affairs, history and books which don’t fall back on gender stereotypes. Amazing Babes holds multiple messages for a wide range of readers. It begs to be read and re-read as the audience grows and matures. This is a book for school libraries, for bedrooms and for coffee tables everywhere.” — childrensbooksdaily.com

“When I first opened the book I was struck by its simplicity. Then after a while I admired the great and important story it told. And now, I am enjoying the discussion it has begun, the thoughts and stories and questions that are unfolding.” — foxslane.blogspot.com.au

“I believe the subtext of the books we share with our kids is significant to their future moral development. Any girl who’s ever dreamt of meeting Prince Charming will agree! So, if you are a little princess-weary, or you’d like to expose your loved ones to a wider range of possible futures, Amazing Babes is the book for you!” — thischarmingmum.com
