Shazam Sisters

The Shocking and Brave Girls of Science

By: K. McKee

Narrated by: Maggie Ross

Shazam Sisters is a children's book that highlights five women in history who pushed through barriers, and always held a curious mind for the world around them. The innovative style of the stories along opens a child's mind to imagination and the possibilities that await them. These amazing women did not allow the restraints of society to define them. They defined their place in society with tenacity and determination.

Technology moves at breaking speed, and with that many experience a disconnect from the world around us. Did you ever wonder where you come from, why some have biological challenges others don't, how a computer can organize so much information, or how a cell phone allows you to speak to someone far away? All this and the origins of medicine that comes from the plants around us are amongst some of the questions these curious women not only thought about but was able to shed light through gritty determination. Their contributions were mostly ignored till history caught up and gave them the attention and admiration they deserved.

Inside Shazam Sisters, you will find stories about Ada Lovelace (computers), Jeanne Baret (botany), Mary Anning (archaeology), Hedy Lamar (technology), and Rosalind Franklin (DNA). A must-have for any parent who wants their child to dream big without the confinements of social expectations.
