About the authors
When I was little, I loved stories about olden-day girls--my favorites were Betsy-Tacy, All-of-a-Kind Family, Little House On the Prairie. Imagine my delight when I went to college and discovered that I could take ENTIRE classes on olden-day girls! I learned to call it women's history, but really--it was the exact same topic I'd been interested in since I was five. Now, I have the great pleasure and honor of editing books for children myself. I also write picture books, most of them true stories about brave women and girls in history. When I'm not writing or editing, I'm usually reading with my two little boys.For additional resources, including lesson plans, book lists, and information on school visits, check out www.shanacorey.com.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2012Once again, author Shana Corey has created a fun and wonderfully informative picture book about a great woman from history! Just in time for the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Girl Scouts comes this engaging title. Both the world of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, and the beginnings of Girl Scout history come to life through the words and just-perfect illustrations. I read this to my daughter's 2nd grade Brownie troop, and the girls loved it. Another mom commented that the girls were "rapt," which is saying a lot for a group of 11 seven-year-olds! This is the book for you if you are a Girl Scout, were a Girl Scout, or have a Girl Scout in your life with whom you would love to share a fantastic picture book.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2012I have mixed feelings about the Girl Scouts as an organization - many troops these days seem to spend a lot of time selling cookies and very little time empowering girls. This book, however, is a picture of how the Girl Scouts SHOULD be, and how they were conceived by their founder. The story itself is inspirational, with this feisty girl overcoming societal norms and doing what she wants to do rather than what's expected of her. But the writing and the illustrations are what really make it come alive for young readers. My children already quote frequently from Corey's previous books You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer and Milly and the Macy's Parade (Scholastic Bookshelf: Holiday) with lines like, "Mom, I am NOT a proper lady!" I know this one will join that group soon. I plan to give it to my daughter's Girl Scout leader, too!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024I bought this for my daughter for her bridging to Brownies-- it's a really special gift!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2013"Here Come the Girl Scouts" is a fun, beautifully illustrated book about the founder of the Girl Scouts in America. My daughter picked this book up at the library, we took it home to read, and the next day - we registered her for scouting- it made her THAT excited!! People seem confused as to what Girl Scouts actually DO, aside from camping out and selling delicious cookies, and this book is a good, easy to understand explanation of the Girl Scouts. I read this book at all of our recruitment event for Girl Scouts as well as award this book in a raffle for all events I lead for younger troops! A must read, must own book for younger scouts!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2019I was a Girl Scout for many years and was a leader for several years. My mom was a scout and a leader for most of her life. This book reminded me of how important the Girl Scout organization was to both of us. It is suitable for scouts of all ages. It is a picture book for younger children. It has humorous and historical facts about Juliette Gordon Low for all ages and concludes with a more advanced history about the founder of Girl Scouts. Loved the book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2012I bought this for my Brownie troop while they worked on their story telling badge. I have to say I think it is a great book. It is full of lots of information about Juliette and how she started the Girl Scouts. It also has lots of neat sayings sprinkled throughout. The girls did find it difficult to read a loud because the got confused with what was part of the story and what was a saying. Still I would highly recommend it for younger girl scouts and their leaders.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2012I was a girl scout in the late 60s and early 70s, so this brought back great memories, reminding me of the badge envy I had in 4th grade. The book celebrates the pioneering spirit of its founder Juliette "Daisy" Low, and her gumption to lead girls into adventure. I shared this book with my nieces who appreciated how this story was brought to life through its charming illustrations. The book is worth owning for the beautiful art within it, not to mention the inspiring story. I bought multiple copies to share, and it's now my coffee table featured book!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2022Great story to share with your Girl Scouts. My Juniors & Cadettes could really relate to the story. Must share!
