My mom has always been my hero, and I thank her every day for fostering my passion for strong female characters. Ever since I was little, she encouraged me to read about women who were geniuses and adventurers and superheroes, and they all inspired me to be fearless and kind.
It wasn’t until I started going to school that I learned about the real-life women who became history’s heroes. There were so many children’s books about men who have shaped the world, but where were all the books about women? I wish I could go back in time and give myself My Name is Not Isabella, so I could cuddle up with my mom and read this inspirational book over and over again.
What’s the book about?
In this New York Times bestselling children’s book, your child steps into the shoes of six outstanding women who have changed history. She gets to become an astronaut, an activist, a scientist, a mother, and so much more—teaching her that she can be anything and everything she wants to be. This book will teach your little girl to take pride in her intelligence, bravery, kindness, and capacity to love.
What makes this book special?
Put Me In The Story personalizes this story specifically for a brave little girl in your life. By replacing the name “Isabella” with your child’s name throughout the book, we remind her that she is just as amazing as the women who have changed history. The beginning of the book also features a photo of your choice and a personalized dedication message, making it a one-of-a-kind keepsake that she can treasure forever.
Favorite quote:
“It’s me, Isabella, the sweetest, kindest, smartest, bravest, fastest, toughest, greatest girl that ever was,” said the little girl as she fell asleep and dreamed about who she would be... tomorrow.
Perfect for:
This is such a heartwarming present. It steals the show at birthdays, holiday parties, and baby showers, and it makes the perfect “just because” gift that your little one will never want to part with. Best of all, her appreciation for this personalized book will grow as she grows, making it more timeless and meaningful as the years go on.
