Anything Girl - by Verita E Pax (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Kat feels conflicted as she ponders her favorite things-she loves the color pink, like her mother, and she loves math, much like her father. As luck may have it, Kat's favorite person, her Pop-Pop, drops in for a visit. Sensing Kat's confusion, Pop-Pop uses the shifting clouds in the afternoon sky as his canvas and masterfully illustrates a limitless future full of opportunity and equality, empowering his granddaughter to view her opportunities in a more balanced and progressive way. Pop-Pop teaches Kat that no matter where her life goes, she can be anything!

Review Quotes

"Anything Girl by Verita E Pax is for all the girls who look at the world with endless possibilities, who have ten different answers when they're asked what they want to be when they grow up, and who refuse to do anything less than what sets their hearts on fire. This book is such an empowering read, demonstrating that girls can do anything they put their minds to doing. I also loved how the book explored Kat and Pop-Pop's relationship, and the way he encourages her to look to the sky for inspiration. Overall, this was such a sweet, encouraging read. Whether you're 5 or 55, everyone needs a reminder now and then to lean into their dreams and to keep chasing after their goals. This book was such an empowering read. Such a beautifully written story! I know it will inspire girls to be anything they want to be for generations to come." -Reviewed by Julia Schemmer for Readers' Favorite
