From KIRKUS Reviews:
"Hechter’s text is well researched, detailed, easy to follow, and accessible to children. Her appropriately painterly illustrations burst with color and contain effective reproductions of Bernstein’s art. Bright freeform endpapers introduce the subject perfectly. An inspiring account of an artist who fought misogyny at each turn—and triumphed."
From Booklist Reviews:
"Overall, a clear, informative book that will have readers cheering for a little-known artist who blazed her own beautiful trail."

From KIRKUS...
" Most illustrations depict the Girl Scouts, showing them to be a diverse group. The specificity of each girl is eye-catching and compelling, and it’s effectively amplified by the attribution of all dialogue to real-life girls, identified by their full names. Images of settings and supporting characters are often rough sketches, creating a sense of depth while highlighting the girls. In a striking illustration of the completed monument, three bronze figures of women’s rights pioneers are set against a greenish-gold background that effectively evokes Central Park as well as a feeling of celebration.
Our Verdict - GET IT."
"An inspiring true story of female empowerment."
