I actually didn't know anything about Emmeline Pankhurst (or even who she was) prior to reading this children's book. It was informative- I thought it was the perfect amount of detail about women's suffrage for a child- and the drawings went well with the information.

Very cute illustrations and appropriate for the age group, I would recommend this title to preschool age providers and parents who are in search of material about women rights, suffragettes, and British Victorian history.

The illustrations were gorgeous, but we had a harder time following the narrative of this one than the others in this series. I think it’s partially because I’m not familiar with this person and couldn’t supplement much information, but also some of the ideas about voting and suffrage weren’t explained in a way a 6 year old can really understand.

'Emmeline Pankhurst: My First Emmeline Pankhurst' by Lisbeth Kaiser with illustrations by Ana Sanfelippo is a board book adaptation of the life of a British suffragette.

Emmeline Pankhurst was born in England to a family that helped other people. She wanted to go to college or get a job, but her parents wouldn't let her. Instead, she fought to help women get the vote and the change the way things were.

I liked the illustrations by Ana Sanfelippo in this book. The colors are bright enough without detracting from the story. The story itself is simple enough for the young to understand. I continue to be impressed by this series.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a very smart and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
"Emmeline had become what no one thought a girl could be: a hero"
This one is about Emmeline, a woman who fought all her life for giving women the same opportunities men had. She was very strong and she never gave up!

When I was little, my mother said: 'You MUSTalways vote, women DIED for your right to vote'. Only later did I find out about who these great women were who fought for the rights we often take for granted.
This is my second book of the series 'Little people, big dreams' and I found it both inspiring and engaging. The story of Emmeline Pankhurst's life is told in simple sentences, so it can be read to very young children. I also loved the artwork in this book. The page which tells the young reader about the time when Emmeline lost her husband is black which I felt perfectly renders her feelings of grief and sorrow.
There must be thousands of books written about Emmeline Pankhurst, but I believe it is never too early to learn about this amazing woman whose hard work and courage changed the way whole societies operate.
Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.

My First Emmeline Pankhurst is a simplified version of the Emmeline Pankhurst book in the Little People, Big Dreams series. This series of young reader books provides short illustrated biographies for famous people around the world from current and past history. They're all really well done and I've enjoyed (and recommended) all I've reviewed on my blog.

Worth noting: There are two versions of this book. The young reader version was released in 2017. This boardbook edition has much more simplified text and was released 5th Feb 2019. The entire series is published by Quarto on their Frances Lincoln imprint.

The art by Ana Sanfelippo is appealingly naive and simple and supports and illustrates the story very well. I'm impressed with Quarto's expertise in finding and presenting the artists of this series to a new audience.

Really well done series and this entry is a worthy addition.

Would make a superlative reading circle selection for classroom, library read-along, bedtime story, or similar. I personally recommend the entire series as good choices for school/classroom libraries.

Five stars.

Very good and informative. Enjoyed the illustrations. Great for kids and adults alike. Great for presents.

Every book in this series is a pleasure, this time a great feminist hero. Suffragette Emmekine is a great way to introduce children to discussions about equality and great historical women. I love this series and it’s wonderful that children’s literature teaches about all these important figures and wish we had them when I was young

I have bought several of the 'Little People, Big Dreams' book series for the school library and would encourage others to do so too. They offer an insight into the lives of people who genuinely made a difference for a variety of reasons. I find the texts engaging and the visual style is perfect to hold the readers interest. The Emmeline Pankhurst text will be easily accessed by a wide age range of students. Alone, I found it to be a little scant on detail for my upper primary class but it will be an excellent introduction to her life and will prompt more indepth discussion about her beliefs and achievements. I'll be adding several copies to our school library.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This little book talks about the the suffragettes and their fight to get the vote for women and also other rights that were previously denied to them. I would have loved to read something like this as a child and I'm glad that today it is possible to do so. Also, I really liked the illustrations in this one.

I am constantly marveled at the consistent and divine pleasure of these annotated biographies with amazing illustrations. This is another gem in the "Little People, Big World" series!

This board book is part of a series that is an offshoot of the Little People, Big Dreams books which are written for slightly older children.

As they hear this story, young listeners will get a beginning understanding of British women's fight for their rights, especially the right to vote. Children will learn that, as a young girl, Emmeline realized that boys had opportunities that she lacked. They will find out that she decided to do something about this and became a fervent supporter of women's suffrage.

Here is Emmeline's story and that of her family. It is told in a simple straightforward manner. The illustrations that accompany the text are bright, bold and appealing as they complement the written narrative.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this one. It will teach young children about their amazing right to vote and women's equality.

I couldn’t think of a better person to be given a ’my first...’ edition. Central to British history and politics, Pankhurst’s journey is something every little one should know. It will inspire all who read and makes for a wonderful foundation to the original edition.
