Welcome MCCBD Bronze Sponsor Goosebottom Books!

January 10, 2016 by Valarie Budayr

Goosebottom Books LLC

Goosebottom books

Goosebottom Books is a small press founded by Shirin Yim Bridges, award-winning author of Ruby’s Wish and The Umbrella Queen. Dedicated to fun non-fiction and the concept of “stealth education,” Goosebottom Books launched its first series, The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Real Princesses, in 2010. Since then, the press has won national and international awards and accolades for each subsequent series. The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Dastardly Dames was named a Top 10 Nonfiction Series of 2012 by the ALA’s Booklist Magazine, and Call Me Ixchel, Mayan Goddess of the Moon, one of A Treasury of Glorious Goddesses, was named one of Foreword Reviews’ Top 10 Middle Grade Novels of 2013.

Goosebottom Books’ princesses, dames, and goddesses hail from around the globe and across different epochs of history. Many have made it onto the CBC’s Diversity Bookshelf, and several have been listed as Amelia Bloomer Project Recommended Feminist Books for Youth. Goosebottom uses their unique and wonderful books to practice what they call “Stealth Education.”

Their goal is to fascinate girls with intriguing true stories about real women, peppered with lots of interesting facts. To surreptitiously ignite a love for history and for reading. And, very importantly, to show girls that they can do it. Girls have been doing it throughout history.
