LEAVE IT TO ABIGAIL! The Revolutionary Life of Abigail Adams
Little Brown, February 2020
“Rosenstock and Baddeley tell her story with plenty of verve and forthrightly feminist swagger.” Publishers Weekly
“Appealing visual elements include expressive illustrations enhanced by cross-stitch-sampler designs in patriotic colors throughout and on endpapers. VERDICT Highly recommended for public and school collections. Use in American history, women’s studies, and biography units.” School Library Journal
“Baddeley (I Dissent, 2016) adds humor and panache with her pencil-and-ink illustrations, adding an authentic feel through lovely cross-stitch finishing touches. Author and artist’s notes accompany the text, giving more details and describing the impact the subject had on the modern role of women in leadership. A great selection for Women’s History Month and Presidents’ Day displays.” Booklist
“Overall, a worthy addition to any collection, this shows the link between powerful women of the past and present. An engaging and illuminating depiction of a woman whose story deserves to be known widely.” Kirkus
