Description

INSTANT 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!INSTANT 1 INDIEBOUND BESTSELLER! Anyone who's ever been underestimated or overshadowed will find inspiration in this empowering new picture book from Meena Harris, New York Times-bestselling author of Kamala and Maya's Big Idea. When a young girl sees a strong woman on TV labeled as "too assertive" and "too ambitious," it sends her on a journey of discovery through past, present, and future about the challenges faced by women and girls and the ways in which they can reframe, redefine, and reclaim words meant to knock them down. As Ambitious Girl says: No "too that" or "too this"will stop what's inside us from flowering. Read more

  • Excellent Book
I read AmbitiousGirl by author Meena, which is about standing up to meet your purpose. NO MATTER WHAT! I didn’t just remind my girls but also reminding the young men in my classroom. Don’t let ANYBODY write your story or discourage you and Let your light shine!

  • Excellent!
My (almost but no blood relation) Grand Daughter received the book today. I live in another state, and I sent this gift for a very ambitious, smart, and avid reader at 6 years old, who neeeeded this book. While I have not read this book yet, I can only imagine it to be empowering, and motivating for her. She was so thrilled with it. Her Mommy let me know that they will record her reading it for me, and send me the video! <3 <3 >3 Such a great memory, and collector item for a sweet little girl! ... show more

  • Excellent inspiration for my 5 yr old granddaughter
My 5 year old granddaughter loved this book and we spent many days re-reading it as she learned she has value, purpose and power. She can aspire to be anything. Moderate learning and confidence building at the same time for a 5 year old. I took the time to explain some words and some parts to her, but overall, she is chanting those words with power. Even if she doesn't fully grasp all of it, she will soon learn the value of it. ... show more

  • great message for powerful, ambitious girls
I am a former elementary school teacher and educational researcher. I am VERY particular about children's books and feel that too many of them perpetuate harmful messages. This book was inspirational without being overly preach-y. Would be a good resource to discuss sexism and/or biases against girls' of color. Reminds little girls that being "loud", brilliant and bold can be signs of courage and leadership. ... show more

  • Great Kids book
Needed just a little more depth to the storyline

  • An empowering book for little ones!
I love the positive message behind this book, and the adorable inclusive illustrations! My own ambitious girl had me read it multiple times yesterday when it arrived! Certain passages don't read with the traditional cadence of a children's book but overall a great purchase and addition to my daughter's "girl power" collection of books ... show more

  • Granddaughter Age 2 Loves Ambitious Girl!
I purchased for my 2 year old granddaughter for her Birthday! Her Mom says she loves this book and she reads it to her at least twice a week! I she would love it because she is an Ambitious Girl at 2! She sees herself in this book!

  • Yes, she can and will!
“Ambitious Girl” is an excellent addition to any home or classroom library! Helping young people, (no matter their gender identity) feel strong, courageous, and ready to take on the world! I was proud to read Meena Harris’ book to my 4th grade class, and also purchased a copy for my younger nieces and nephew! Highly recommended! ... show more
