Girls are ambitious, wild and smart. Harris’ A is for Ambitious depicts girls and women of all colors and abilities doing everything and anything they dream of doing, without being stopped due to gender, age, disability, or goal. Each letter of the alphabet has dialogue attached describing A for ambitious; B for Bossy, C for Confident; R for relentless; all the way through Z for zillions of girls all over the world doing, reaching, and achieving.
Valdez’s illustrations are colorful, realistic, and funny. Students will enjoy studying each picture depicting girls achieving anything they set their minds to. Illustrations are modern, showing girls achieving goals and ambitions that are high-tech; more than being a nurse, teacher or homemaker.
