A, my name is ALBA and my sister's name is AYELÉN. We come from ARGENTINA and we are ADVENTUROUS.
Girls from 26 different countries — Argentina to Zambia — are beautifully and thoughtfully represented in this A to Z tribute to global girlhood. Children will enjoy reading about each girl's name, empowering character trait, and country, while learning how we are all connected.
Globally-minded kids can also find the countries on a map at the back of the book and dream of places they'd like to visit. Skip right into this joyful, diverse, alphabetic picture book celebrating girls around the world.
"A concluding double-page spread shows all the girls and women in a large courtyard, joyfully playing together. Readers could play a guessing game, remembering their names and countries. The countries include nations usually not mentioned, including Burkina Faso and Qatar, and the rear endpapers present a simple map of the continents with the girls’ faces keyed to their countries.... An easy way to open up children’s eyes to girls around the world." — Kirkus Reviews
