€25.00
Making the world a better place: stories of courageous Black women!
"Little Leaders” introduces 40 women from Black history who have achieved extraordinary things: For example, NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, who put people on the moon. Or Bessie Coleman, the world's first African-American pilot. And the first Black astronaut - Dr. Mae Jemison! Brave women who changed the world and should be role models for all children.
“Little Leaders” is the second volume in the New York Times bestselling series and follows “Little Dreamers”. Once again Vashti Harrison The women in the book are not only brilliantly illustrated, but also described with interesting short biographies, the children from the age of 8 onwards can read wonderfully by themselves.
We are particularly pleased that our translator Ciani-Sophia Hoeder also introduces May Ayim, Natasha Kelly and Shary Reeves, three personalities from Germany that every child should know!
“Little Leaders” shows us brave, courageous women. Whether they put something on paper, flew through the air or stood up for the rights of others - the women who are featured stood up for a world in which they were not always accepted. It is all the more important that children learn their stories!

About the publisher
A Berlin publisher
We met and fell in love in 2012 when Anna was on a language trip to Berlin. At first Anna lived in Warsaw, where she studied linguistics, and Lukas in Berlin, where he set up 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 connected us from the beginning: We love books and are proud of our large bookshelf.
In 2018, our happiness was perfect: our twins Zoë and Vincent were born. We then bought 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 the other.That is why we, a translator and an entrepreneur, decided to just publish these books yourself!
And so we founded the Zuckersüß publishing house. 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 and our children and all young families who enjoy reading together.
