In addition to A Girl’s Bill of Rights, I highly recommend all of the following girl power picture books, which can be ordered together at bookshop.org here!

In no particular order…

I WILL BE FIERCE! by Bea Birdsong, illustrated by Nidhi Chanani, is about finding courage and confidence in everyday moments.

AMBITIOUS GIRL, illustrated by Marissa Valdez, was written by Vice President Kamala Harris’s own niece, Meena Harris!
