Here Come the Girl Scouts!: The Amazing All-True Story of Juliette 'Daisy' Gordon Low and Her Great Adventure

For my next book, I decided to do a book in the biography genre. The book I chose is called Here comes the Girl Scouts! by Shana Corey and Hadley Hooper. This book is great for girls to learn how the girl scouts organization came about. I was a girl scout when I was younger and this book was really interesting. I never really knew any of the information in this book. This book belongs in the category of biography because it is about a real person. The book is written by others, but the book is all about a real person. 

This book is about Juliette Gordon-Low, the founder of the girl scouts. Juliette's friends all called her Daisy, not many people called her by the name she was given. Daisy was born in the Victorian era when girls were supposed to be dainty and proper. Daisy thought that was very boring. She wanted to be like the boys, she wanted to be outdoors all the time. Daisy loved to be outside and she yearned for adventure. Daisy was born into a family of pioneers and she wanted to make a difference in the world. She did not just want to sit back and let everyone else to the work. Daisy worked to combine her family's love of service and her own adventurous heart to create the girl scouts. This book goes on to talk about how exactly she made the Girl Scouts the organization they are today. 

This book is great for all the Girl Scout's out there. I think that it is amazing that the girl scouts have been around for over 100 years. The first project that I would do to go along with this book is to have the girls write about some kind of experience they had that was like Daisy's. They could write about their time in the girl scouts if they were apart of it, or they could write about a time in their life that they did something like daisy. For the next project, I would have the students come up with a way to change their town or community. Daisy created the girl scouts because she wanted to make a difference and that is what I would have the students do. It could be anything they were interested in that would help them make a difference. For this book, I would make the girls do this book, and the boys do a book about boy scouts.
