"Although it's impossible to talk about her without mentioning her iconic husband, Krull makes sure Coretta remains front and center . . . packed with plenty of information in an engaging, conversational tone, and Freeman's expressive full-color illustrations do a great job of portraying Coretta in a wide variety of moments in her life . . . This slim volume is packed with honest, accurate information and interesting tidbits about an important woman, and it would be a welcome addition to both school and public libraries." --Booklist
"Presenting a fresh view and focusing on these individuals' determination and resulting achievements, Krull adroitly tells their stories from birth to death. . . Strong additions to biography collections." --School Library Journal
"In both volumes the illustrators ably depict their subjects from childhood on with features both recognizable and expressive. . . Readers should come away impressed by her uncommon independence of spirit and opinion." --Kirkus Reviews
"Interior color illustrations, executed by different illustrators and in different styles, further enhance these titles. Visually appealing, with quality information, these books are ideal offerings." --School Library Journal on the Women Who Broke the Rules series
"Smart and animated. . . . Young readers will come away properly inspired by the examples of these admirable rule-breakers. The author of the justly renowned What the Neighbors Thought series digs a little deeper with these equally engaging single volumes." --Kirkus Reviews on SACAJAWEA
