Описание:
Full of humor and spunk just like Esther
""I could do that," "says six-year-old Esther as she watches her mother making tea. Start her own business at the age of nineteen? Why, she could do that, too. But one thing Esther and other women could NOT do was vote. Only men could do that.
With lively text and humorous illustrations as full of spirit as Esther herself, this striking picture book biography shows how one girl's gumption propels her through a life filled with challenges until, in 1869, she wins the vote for women in Wyoming Territory the first time ever in the United States
"I Could Do That " is a 2006 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year."

The other six children were created in the ship's reproductive lab, along with the chickens, turkeys, goats, and dogs. The plan was to reunite with the crew that landed two years earlier. Instead, the new arrivals discover a barren encampment inhabited by strangely arranged skeletons. But the colonists are not alone. In the night, intelligent beings descend on leathery wings, threatening the colony's very existence. When his parents fail to return from a scientific expedition, Reilly steals an airscouter and flies off in search of them. His journey leads him to surprising new friends-and foes. These shifting relationships and inter species alliances determine who ultimately survives, and redefine the meaning of family.
