- This is such an empowering book for young girls and teaches young boys about equal rights. I am a marathoner myself, and have twin boys. When reading this book to them, they ask so many questions about why girls were not supposed to run, and they follow up with "you run all the time". "I can't believe that girls were not supposed too." This book is a must read for all young children. This will help teach your child to never give up on their dreams, and to go after any goals they have despite what others say or think. Kim Chaffee did an outstanding job sharing Katherine Switzer's story! This book really keeps children engaged and you can see their wheels spinning while learning about equal rights. A truly inspiring and empowering read!
