(4) K-3 A girl who "used to only play princess" until her mom introduced her to "real, great women" shows off a week's worth of dress-up looks, from Amelia Earhart to Frida Kahlo. The book's cause is so noble that it's a drag the narrator's voice is so unconvincing. The illustrations go all out, right down to the girl's Kahlo-esque unibrow. Reading list.
