Review Quotes

"Girls Can Do Anything is a wonderful read to show young girls that they REALLY CAN DO ANYTHING! This book shows girls of different colors and abilities dressed in different looks doing different kinds of jobs! It is so important to show young girl that they can skateboard or go to space one day if they want to! I read this to my first grade Girl Scout troop for their first meeting of this school year so I could help inspire them and to help point out that Girl Scouts is here as a platform for them to learn and grow into amazing women. This book should be read to all little girls ages 4-7!"

"Empowerment rocks! Narrated in bouncy verses this title catalogs the myriad possibilities that exist in being female and the varied activities that girls do. Girls with diverse skin tones, hair colors and textures, and clothing styles are presented as they explore, play sports, make art and music, conduct experiments in science. Refreshingly, some are depicted using wheelchairs or wearing glasses or hijabs. The infectious, cheerleaderlike tone is unsurprising and repeats the anthem "I'm a GIRL! I'm FANTASTIC! I'm strong, brave, and proud!" The cartoony, energetic artwork is appealing overall, with front endpapers presenting a gallery of possible career choices. Leaves no doubts that girls are to be cheered on and reckoned with."
