Description
Full of humor and spunk – identical to Esther!
“I could do this,” says six-year-old Esther as she watches her mother making tea. Start her own business on the age of nineteen? Why, she could do this, too. But one thing Esther and other women could NOT do was once vote. Only men could do this.
With energetic text and humorous illustrations as stuffed with spirit as Esther herself, this striking picture book biography shows how one girl’s gumption propels her through a life stuffed with challenges until, in 1869, she wins the vote for women in Wyoming Territory – the primary time ever in america!
I Could Do That! is a 2006 Bank Street – Perfect Children’s Book of the Year.
