Reviews for Katie, Big and Strong: The True Story of the Mighty Woman Who Could Lift Anything

""Katie, Big and Strong should have particular appeal to American youngsters. However, a wider audience is likely to be roused by Cooper and White's imposing Katie Sandwina and the loud-and-clear message that self-confident females can do it all."" -- The British Columbia Review ""The theme comes through loud and clear: there are many ways to be strong--embrace your strengths... An empowering and entertaining read."" -- Booklist, STARRED Review
