I can't believe I hadn't heard of this adventure earlier. It was so fun to read about these amazing women in such a digestible way. Picture books are for all ages. And this one was my favorite.

A fun story about two suffragists making the difficult trek across the country to get the word out about women's suffrage! I didn't know this story so I really enjoyed listening to it and learned a bit more about the fight for the right to vote. The author's notes go a bit more in depth for kids who want to know more about suffrage and how truly difficult it was. If you pick this one up, I highly recommend the audiobook as it has a lot of fun atmosphere!

Fantastic story. I’m so thankful to all the women who fought for my right to vote. These two, Nell Richardson and Alice Burke, are extraordinary people.

[11/2/16] I am posting this review specifically today because it is amazing to hear for these women’s journey when today a woman is running for president under a major political power. It is amazing that in 2016 we have made it this far, which is amazing, but we also have to remember how hard woman fought for women’s rights and that women’s equality isn’t here yet.
Another reason why I posted this today is to remind people to vote. All election days are our opportunity to choose our futures. We are not powerless; voting gives us power and a voice. Please vote and remind all those close and dear to you to vote as well.
Now to the book. I loved reading Nell and Alice’s adventure. These are woman that are truly role models because they did something so unexpected and unacceptable at the time to fight for something they believe in a peaceful and intelligent manner. Mara Rockliff, along with Hooper’s busy yet muted and beautiful illustrations, tell us their story in an engaging way that will definitely make the reader think about so much.

I liked the subject that the author took on with this book- the journey and challenges it took for Richardson and Burke to carry their message across the country. But the actual writing and telling of their story felt clunky, slow at times, and could've used some reworking. The illustrations were fantastic!

I liked the entertaining way information is shared. I wish there was more about women of color though. Sojourner Truth's name is listed and a few other women of color, but don't really go into what they did. Native American women still couldn't vote until they were granted citizenship in 1924 and many women were unable to vote for years beyond that due to racist practices and these things aren't mentioned either. I'd like to see a more complete picture.

Great book to use this election year. Would be interesting to do some cross comparisons in voting tactics, then and now!
