A KidLit Celebration of 
Women's History Month, 2015!

We are happy to announce that we have begun planning another great celebration for 
Women's History Month in March, 2015.
Kidlit Celebrates Women's History Month has been a success thanks to the many talented authors, illustrators and bloggers that have provided great posts for over 125,000 blog readers during Women's History Month. Readers, commenters, and contributors worked together to create a dynamic resource of thoughtful and thought-provoking women's history essays, commentaries, and book reviews.

The 2015 National Women’s History Project theme is "Weaving the Stories of Women's Lives," another theme with great possibilities.

Our goal is to celebrate and raise awareness of great books for young people that focus on women’s history. 

We hope that you will join us in our 5th annual celebration. If you have a great new book or author that you think we should contact, please let us know. Please bookmark the site, or follow us on Twitter or Facebook. The celebration will kick off on March 1, 2015. In the meantime, watch for updates, look around the site, and enjoy. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. 

Thanks,
