Like A Girl

Once upon a time, "like a girl" was considered an insult. Not anymore! In art, aviation, politics, sports, every walk of life, girls are demonstrating their creativity, perseverance, and strength. From civil rights activist Rosa Parks, who stood up for her beliefs by staying seated, to astronaut Sally Ride, who soared to the skies, the 24 women profiled here took risks, acted up, broke barriers, and transformed the world. With its simple yet powerful text, this book will inspire young women everywhere.

Subjects in this book include Rosa Parks; Mother Teresa; Malala Yousafzai; Ruby Bridges; Helen Keller; Tammy Duckworth; Wilma Rudolph; Temple Grandin; Frida Kahlo, Zaha Hadid; R.J. Palacio; Maya Angelou; Amelia Earhart; Bessie Coleman; Sally Ride; Mae Carol Jemison; Simone Biles; Gail Devers; Babe Didrikson Zaharias; Gertrude Ederle; Jane Addams; Irena Sendler; Wangari Maathai; and Harriet Tubman. This celebration of international girl power honors those who create, prevail, change the world... like a GIRL!

Description

"Twenty-four women leaders are pictured as models of working ‘like a girl’ in this rhyming inspirational poem.... Leaders who overcame challenges, such as Helen Keller and Tammy Duckworth, ‘prevail like a girl.’ Artists, architects, and writers like Frida Kahlo and Zaha Hadid all ‘create like a girl.’ Pilots and astronauts ‘soar,’ athletes ‘train,’ philanthropists and activists ‘change the world like a girl.’ Minibiographies at the end of the book introduce the major accomplishments of each featured leader, helping this book to double as a fun read-aloud and an informative lead-in to further research." — Kirkus Reviews
