Wahoo!FLYGIRL is
a 2010
Amelia Bloomer Project selection!
What an honor! The Amelia Bloomer
List is a selection of recommended feminist literature for ages
birth through 18. Amelia
Bloomer was a suffragette who ran a newspaper that focused
on the struggle for equal rights for women. What an honor to be
part of that same movement today. Thank you to the people of the
ALA for creating such a fantastic list.
FLYGIRL has been selected as part of the 2010
Tayshas Reading List! The
Tayshas
(a Caddo Indian word meaning "friend" or "ally" according
to the website) is a list of recommended reads for 9th - 12th graders
selected by Texas school and public librarians. Thank you to everyone
who put in a good word for FLYGIRL!
