Picture Books: Women's History Month & International Women's Day!
Happy Women's History Month and International Women's Day (3/8)!
For this edition of Comelibritos' Corner (Little Bookworm's Corner), I've compiled picture books that celebrate extraordinary women for you to share with the littles in your life. Add some of these to your collection and enjoy them all year round! 
The books below are organized in four categories:
The titles with a (*) next to their names are books I own or have taken out of the library and can recommend first hand. The rest are titles I think sound interesting and I'm planning to check out myself soon. Happy Reading! & ¡Que Vivan Las Mujeres!
