Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for providing me with an e-ARC. This review is my own opinion.

Madam C.J. Walker Builds a Business tells the story of Sarah Breedlove and how she became America's first female self-made millionaire. The illustrations and how her story is told are great for children around middle-grade age. I learnt a lot about Sarah and this also made me watch Netflix's Selfmade, inspired by Madam C.J. Walker's life (also a great show!). It is nice to see her celebrated like this.

At the end of the book are also activities that will inspire young children to build their own business, too!
