Riddles to be solved. Kings' favor to be won. These are the standard stories we've heard in folktales and fables for as long as we can remember--challenges faced and overcome by princes and knights in shining armor. In \u003ci\u003eFolktales for Fearless Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, though, we see a different set of heroes charge across the page. In fact, we see heroines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWily women and clever girls, valiant queens and brave villagers--these are the people to save the day in this collection of folktales from around the world and across the ages. Long before J.K. Rowling brought us Hermione Granger, well before Katniss Everdeen entered the arena, these fierce protagonists were the role models for strong girls through the ages. Here we read the story of Jimena, who dresses like a man to go fight in a war; of Min, whose cleverness leads her family to riches; and of Nabiha, who outsmarts thieves and wins the respect of the king. With stories from China, Russia, Persia, India, Armenia, the UK, Spain, France, Southern Africa, Egypt, and Germany, this is a collection of tales that showcases the original literary feminists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith beautiful full-color art throughout to accompany these empowering tales, this an essential book for all girls! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eFolktales for Fearless Girls\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Women of the world are celebrated through joyous illustration and triumphant tales.\" --\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Myriam Sayalero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Philomel Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593115220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyriam Sayalero (myriamsayalero.com) is a journalist and the director of the multiplatform content site Adosaguas.
