The team behind Girls Think of Everything return to spotlight an inclusive, international range of 16 female -social innovators- from the present and the past, such as Jane Chen, whose team invented a low-cost infant warmer for premature newborns in 2008, and Elizabeth Stott, who opened consignment shops for women-s financial empowerment in 1832. Thimmesh delivers the profiles in a lively voice: -If one random kid enlists ten other kids to help, the difference they can collectively make multiplies and grows.- Golden speech bubbles throughout offer more data and fun facts, and direct quotes from the featured women, indicated by italics, further enrich the text. Sweet contributes eye-catching mixed-media illustrations, including portraits of the entrepreneurs and full-page collages that often feature quotes or diagrams relevant to their experience. A hearty nonfiction tome as likely to educate as it is to inspire. Back matter includes a glossary of business terms and quoted sources. Ages 10-up. (Mar.)
