It’s not meant to be oppressive, I’m sure, but somehow it came across a little like that to me, as an adult reader. A glorious tale encouraging young girls to become leaders, to know their potential and believe in their worth. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.

An uplifting and inspirational picture book about the unique experiences and opportunities that children raised as girls will encounter in this sometimes troubling, challenging world.

This beautiful mix of childlike magical dreams and inspiring words of encouragement to change the world is matched perfectly with the fantastical illustrations. While the poetic story seems to encourage a "save the World" ecology goal, taken as a whole, it is only a part of the totality of this sweet book. This prescriptive poem represents an ideal for parents to share with their daughters, teaching parents that daughters must be taught to be doers and encouraged to be dreamers. My experience of working in a library and studying English Liteature as a degree both demonstrate my love of books.
