Starred ReviewStarred Review Jewish Book World
“This is a lovely addition to the biography shelf for the youngest readers” — starred review, Jewish Book World
Jewish Journal
“it is a pleasure to find this new release for very young children relating a specific incident in the life of young Golda Meir. Many little girls will find a kindred spirit in the story of Golda Mabowehz, a take-charge kind of kid” — Jewish Journal
Booklist
“The text does ably capture a decisive Goldie, and what’s especially fun here is the artwork, particularly the images of the girls – a nest of almost doll-like figures.” — Booklist
School Library Journal
“A solid choice for read-alouds, it could spark discussions about service learning, immigration, leadership, and inspiring female role models. Goldie’s strong voice comes through, and the conversational tone makes it accessible for readers.” — School Library Journal
