I love adding featured books to my classroom library for special months, holidays and events. Here are a few of my favorite books for Women's History Month:
1. Beyonce: Shine Your Light
Yep. A book about Beyonce that is perfect for the elementary music classroom. This has been a favorite of my students since I added it to our classroom library last year.
This book is for lower elementary students and tells the story of Ella Fitzgerald. I love the illustrations in this book. It is part of a larger series of books that I would love to have for my daughter.
3. Dolly Parton: Coat of Many Colors
So, I basically love everything Dolly and this book is delightful! The illustrations are beautiful and the story of this song is as delightful as the song itself. I also like THIS book on Dolly for older students.
4. A Dance Like Starlight: One Ballerina's Dream
This book is actually fiction but is basically a tribute to Janet Collins, the first ballerina of color to perform at the Metropolitan Opera. Love this story!
5. A Voice Named Aretha
Aretha Franklin's story is beautifully illustrated in this picture book. I learned quite a bit about this amazing woman myself from this book!
If you liked these ideas, PIN THEM for later!
