A great way to celebrate women's history month and teach your children about amazing women is to read books related to the topic with your kids. I have browsed a few different sites and shared some different books for all ages. But there are so many other amazing books. You can find all the sites I browsed linked below (under Sources) for even more ideas.
Note: Some of the books below would be great for multiple age groups, even though I put them in just one. Read the books your child is interested in! You can talk about the books to help them comprehend them.
