Peasreads: Folktales for Fearless Girls by Samantha Newman and Khoa Le

This is a collection of stories and folklore focusing on strong female characters. The stories are fun, some I have heard of before, and many I have not. All of them were interesting, and engaging, and had information on where the story had originated.  Khao Le illustrates the book pages in a colorful rich palette. It is fun to look at. This book is great for kids who are 8 years and up. Some themes are very sad. Loss of parents, rejection from parents and society, death, murder. Nothing graphic. 

This is a fun collection for children of all ages if you discuss with your child some of the themes.
