Excellent depiction of a little-known part of history. Well-researched and well-written with beautiful illustrations. ( )

A great story for young readers. Excellent notes at the back too! ( )

I like this book a lot and the reason why I like it because I have never heard of Molly Williams. Molly Williams was the first female firefighter. Not only was she the first firefighter, but she was also African American. I would read this book for Black History Month or even to a group of girls to show that women can do a man's job. This was a really good read. ( )
