Little Leaders Coloring Page

The amazing Vashti Harrison has 6 wonderful Little Leaders books out.  I heard an interview with Vashti on a virtual Children’s Book Festival last year and knew I had found a new favorite.  Her artwork is SOOOooo gorgeous, and I immediately ordered several prints from her Society6 page.

Anyway, she has shared this blank Little Leaders coloring page, which would be so much fun on its own, but also such a wonderful addition to many learning projects.  While we were having our Inaugural Ball here at home, my daughter colored several of these with her own characters and hung them up as a wall of Presidents, including her own self-portrait, of course, as the current President.  These would be great for biography projects, self-portraits, studying/drawing historical fashion, etc.  It would be fun to make a small booklet of these using A-Z of famous people or family members.  The link above is awesome, and you definitely need to visit Vashti’s site and check out her books, but here’s a link to a PDF I made that will print two blank coloring pages per page, if you’re interested.  And because this is the current craze in this house, here’s a link to a Little Little Leaders sheet of 8, as well.


Susan B. Anthony

When people think of Susan B. Anthony, they may think of her courageous vote placed before the 19th Amendment had passed, or perhaps of the short-lived Susan B. Anthony coin.  I know, for me, anyway, that was the case.  After becoming fascinated by the women’s suffrage movement, however, I longed to know more about the woman after whom the Amendment was named.  I picked up the young reader biography by Teri Kanefield, which I very highly recommend.  This video is based on information I found in this book.  This is my homemade attempt at trying to capture the highlights of Kanefield’s book and the incredible life of Susan B. Anthony.  It is my sincerest hope that if you, like me, knew little about Anthony’s life before this, that maybe you will feel inspired to read more and learn from this amazing woman.
