Reviews
"This wonderful book tells young girls what we have ALL needed to hear but haven't heard nearly enough: Ambition is good, and girls who are ambitious achieve great things and help others. This delightful book is a must read for every little girl."-- Padma Lakshmi, Author, UNDP Goodwill Ambassador and ACLU Artist Ambassador for Immigrant and Women's Rights project, "A pep talk, a call to action, and a beautiful story. This book reminds me of so many bedtime conversations my mother and I had when I was growing up. Our girls are powerful and limitless." -- Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, "I know a thing or two about being called "ambitious" as an insult. But ambitious girls fight for change. Ambitious girls lift up their communities. Ambitious girls run for president. Ambitious girls can do anything. This celebration of girls' ambition is timely, inspiring, and much-needed." -- Hillary Rodham Clinton, "The quick moral? Don't let the world judge you--'You tell them who you are.' The story is inclusive of all girls and some nonbinary folk in uplifting illustrations that shout the lessons, that 'too' is darkly overwhelming, but women before her have opened doors. Here, also, is the quote children everywhere have been learning in this political season--'You may be the first someday, but don't be the last--make space for more!'"-- School Library Journal, "A nourishing, necessary story for girls to harness their inner heroines, make them come alive off the page, and thrive in real life."-- Amber Tamblyn, Author and Actress, "Ambitious Girl is such an important children's book, because it defines ambition in different terms than we're used to. We are so often told ambition is a drive toward professional success, but Ambitious Girl knows it's so much more -- it's a drive toward owning your life and humanity. When we, especially girls, are taught about ambition it often comes with an inherent competition, that there's only one slot available. I love that this book breaks that myth. I know Meena and her family live by these beliefs, and I'm so grateful she has put it down in beautiful words to share with the rest of us." -- Kristen Bell, Actor, Producer, Activist, and New York Times Bestselling Author, "Meena writes an ambitious story for persistent girls who are routinely told they don't matter. Kids deserve books where they can see themselves, their potential for greatness, and the power of dreaming big. Ambitious Girl is one of those treasures of a picture book--it entertains, it educates, it's a must read." -- Ibtihaj Muhammad, U.S. Olympic Medalist and New York Times Bestselling Author, "The quick moral? Don't let the world judge you--'You tell them who you are.' The story is inclusive of all girls and some nonbinary folk in uplifting illustrations that shout the lessons, that 'too' is darkly overwhelming, but women before her have opened doors. Here, also, is the quote children everywhere have been learning in this political season--'You may be the first someday, but don't be the last--make space for more!'" -- School Library Journal, "I love that Ambitious Girl both shows and tells--it shows a girl who looks like my own daughter and tells her, and her brother, that women's ambition is powerful and something to be celebrated." -- Mindy Kaling, Actor, producer, activist, and New York Times bestselling author, " Ambitious Girl is not just beautiful for its text, it's also one of the first times I've seen the ambition of girls of color centered and celebrated. I look forward to making this book a regular bedtime affirmation in our house."-- Jessica Alba, Entrepreneur, Advocate, Actress, New York Times bestselling author, and Founder of The Honest Company, "Have you ever sobbed into a children's book? I have and that book is Ambitious Girl . It was the empowerment and good cry of relief I deserve. I'll be requiring every girl and woman in my life to read it, and I'd love for every boy, man, and being in this world to read it with us too."-- Liza Koshy, Actress, Creator, Producer, "When I learned about the water crisis in my hometown of Flint, I didn't have many young role models who looked like me. But I did what any ambitious girl would do and took that first step. I love that Ambitious Girl will encourage the next generation of young female activists to speak up and not back down." -- Mari Copeny, 13-year-old Activist and Philanthropist, "The soft watercolor illustrations amplify the book's underlying messages of love and hope, filling the backgrounds with a multiracial cast of women diverse in age, sexuality, ethnicity, and ability. An inspiring, rhyming ode to female ambition."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Being ambitious means daring to be different and being willing to break the mold. That can be scary, but with Ambitious Girl by her side, young girls will know they can do anything." -- Issa Rae, Actor, producer, activist, "In a complex world, Ambitious Girl is a powerful way to talk to kids, especially Black and Brown children, about overcoming stereotypes and owning your confidence. I am so happy to see us represented on the page, and I can't wait to give this book to every young person in my life--and a few older readers as well!" -- Diane Guerrero, Actor, Activist, and Author

And as Meena writes in her author's note in the back of the book, after she heard a member of her own family deemed "too ambitious" in the media:"I felt a new sense of urgency to make sure my young daughters-and girls all over-would have the tools and language to reframe, redefine, and reclaim what they will inevitably hear in the 'real world.' In writing this book, my greatest hope is that girls dare to define their own unique purpose in the world, and that they grow into strong, ambitious women.", INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
