A wonderful book featuring 40 portraits of extraordinary women, described and illustrated by bestselling artist Vashti Harrison!
In "Little Dreamers," bestselling author Vashti Harrison introduces 40 well-known and lesser-known role models for all children: visionary women who have bravely forged their paths and whose life stories are a great inspiration.
Alongside famous personalities such as Frida Kahlo, Marie Curie, and Zaha Hadid, Vashti Harrison also tells us about women like Kenyan environmental activist Wangari Maathai, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, and computer pioneer Grace Hopper, who co-developed the programming language Cobol.
Each double page features a short biography that children aged 8 and up can wonderfully read on their own, along with a fantastic illustration in Vashti's unique style. Vashti wants to encourage children with this book to dream new dreams, invent, create, try things out, make mistakes, and ask questions.
The artists and scientists she presents show children: Look at what is possible! A great gift for all little (and big) dreamers!
For children aged 6 and up
96 pages | hardcover, hardcopy

Adorably sweet, one of the most beautiful children's books in the world. A small Berlin publisher with adorably sweet books and illustrations. We appreciate the themes of the books as well as the inclusive and empowering approach.
About the Publisher
We got to know and love each other in 2012 when Anna was on a language trip in Berlin. Initially, Anna lived in Warsaw, where she studied linguistics, and Lukas was in Berlin, where he started his first company. After a few years of long-distance relationship, connected by the Berlin-Warsaw express train, Anna moved to Berlin, and in 2016 we got married on a beach in the Seychelles. What has connected us from the very beginning: We love books and are proud of our large bookshelf.
In 2018, our happiness was complete: Our twins Zoë and Vincent were born. Now we buy children's books in the three languages our children are growing up with: German, English, and Polish.We noticed that many beautiful children's books are available in one language but not in the other. Therefore, we, a translator and an entrepreneur, decided to simply publish these books ourselves!
And so we founded the Zuckersüß Verlag. Since 2019, we have been searching for, finding, and translating the most beautiful children's books in the world and bringing them to Germany. For ourselves, our children, and all young families who enjoy reading together.
