Tallulah: The Tooth Fairy CEO by Dr. Tamara Pizzoli - ESSENTIAL


Tallulah: The Tooth Fairy CEO by Dr. Tamara Pizzoli, illustrated by Federico Fabiani. PICTURE BOOK. Farrar Straus Giroux (Macmillan), 2019. $18. 9780374309190

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

The tooth fairy is not a little fairy at all, but a tough CEO of her own company. In this book we learn about how Tallulah manages to run her company and keep her life balanced. Tallulah schedules self care during the week and hires smart women to work with.

The illustrations are modern and stylish, but the best part of this book is seeing a female boss. I hope Tallulah is one of the first of many strong female CEOs we get to see in picture books. As a boss, she sets a good example, balancing her life with exercise, therapy and listening to others before making deliberate decisions about her company.
