*SIGNED BOOKPLATE 

When a young girl sees a strong woman on TV labeled as "too assertive" and "too ambitious," it sends her on a journey of discovery through past, present, and future about the challenges faced by women and girls and the ways in which they can reframe, redefine, and reclaim words meant to knock them down.

As Ambitious Girl says:

No "too that" or "too this"
will stop what's inside us from flowering.

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Violet E. ★★★★★

My daughter spotted the author's signature on the bookplate right away and now insists it's her "special edition." The story itself opened up a good talk about the word ambitious and why it's not a bad thing to be called.

Aurora F. ★★★★★

The signed bookplate inside the cover made this feel like a keepsake rather than just another picture book. My niece asked why the girl on TV was called "too ambitious," and it turned into a really good talk about what that word even means.

Sofia ★★★★☆

Bought this for my niece after she asked why the women on the news were called bossy. The bookplate inside is genuinely signed, which made it feel more special than a plain copy. Only gripe is I wish the story were a little longer for older kids.
