Gloria Rising (Julian's World)

It's has been very difficult trying to find books for my twin 8yr old daughters.I wanted a series of books with the star character being an African American girl just having fun and doing kid stuff. A book that will make them know that reading is fun. This book does just that and more.If you're looking for a great chapter book for an African American girl, then author Ann Cameron's "Gloria Rising" and "Gloria's Way" is it.Also, try Valerie Wilson Wesley's series of "Willimena Rules".

My son enjoy reading this beautiful book.

My daughter absolutely loves the book.

Have all of the gloria titled books, Truly excellent series. Need more!!Hopefully will turn into cartoon, add to the disney line up. They really need diversity.

I am a Caucasian mother who seeks the TRUTH for her family. EVERY book by Ann Cameron is wonderful!!! Keep up the excellent work!!!

why arent these books published in the UK, they are perfect for 5 year old first readers and up. Childrens classics

My kindergartner read it before science camp, and it really helped to stoke her enthusiasm for all things space. We love that she's a girl and the astronaut who inspired her is also a woman of colour. A lot of astronaut books seem to be aimed at boys.

I am biased because my cousin wrote the book, but I just loved reading it. I will read it to my granddaughters when they are a little older in the hope that they will learn to never limit their ambitions in life. This book will inspire many who read it to pursue their dreams.
