It is important to be ambitious!

This story is about a little girl who experiences life and learns her lessons and values from life. One day she sees a woman speaking on a TV in a store. While that woman spoke very confidently, the TV commentators didn't seem impressed at all. The little girl was so sad seeing this. However, in reply to the commentators, the woman on the TV responded that it is up to us to define ourselves and no one can do that for us.

Title: Ambitious Girl

Author: Meena Harris

Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers  

This incident teaches the little girl a truckload of things in life. She has heard people telling her that she was too loud, which made her quieter. Many tell her she is over-confident, but now she understands that you can never be too ambitious and strong-willed. The little girl gets ample support from her family and she aims to reach her goals by working hard.

The little girl observes women being described in a not-so-positive manner but she decides to turn those people and words around and make them more positive. This story motivates us to be our best selves each day. This book would serve as a great inspiration for little kids to empower themselves for a brighter and stronger future.

Perfect read-aloud for toddlers and a great read for elementary-aged kids.
