Publisher's Description of She Persisted: Virginia Apgar
In this chapter book biography by bestselling author and physician Sayantani DasGupta, readers learn about the amazing life of Virginia Apgar–and how she persisted.
There weren’t many women who tried to become doctors when Virginia Apgar went to medical school–but she didn’t let that stop her. After a professor discouraged from becoming a surgeon, she became an anesthesiologist instead and created the famous Apgar test to check the health of newborn babies. It’s a test that’s still used in hospitals across the world today!
Category Description for She Persisted
Inspire young readers to make a difference! This series of short chapter books shares individual stories of women around the globe who faced overwhelming obstacles and yet… persisted! Although based on the best-selling picture book series by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, these take a more in-depth look into the lives of several women who left a legacy for future generations. Because some books touch on topics that can be difficult for young readers to grasp (slavery, abuse, segregation, etc.), discussion with an adult will be beneficial for processing. Each book has simple, cute illustrations sprinkled throughout and a short back section entitled "How You Can Persist", encouraging readers with a call to action.
