Pairing up a children's historical fiction novel and an adult factual book can open up a whole range of conversations, and ideas.

Which pairings would you recommend?

My favourite is Rejected Princesses: Tales of History's Boldest Heroines, Hellions, and Heretics by @jasonporath.bsky.social. Not for younger readers, this book opened up a whole world of feisty, often inspiring, sometimes scary women from history. With beautiful illustrations. #WomensHistoryMonth
