Big Words for Fearless Girls: 1,000 Big Words for Girls with Big Dreams

This primer covers a range of topics—food, colors, vehicles, gardening, space, science, family . . . you name it—each through the lens of strong women doing important things. Every spread features a well-done, short rhyming introduction to the topic, at least a few blurbs about female pioneers (from ancient to modern-day), and a host of words related to the topic, all illustrated in Miles’ simple, appealing and modern style. The color scheme is bright and energetic, and the pages are a feast for the eyes, lending the book best to a reading experience that involves discussion and exploration between parent and child rather than a straight-through reading of all the words.The book concludes with a spread about the importance of family, that while perhaps at odds with modern sentiments, delivers the value the creator’s place on family in an endearing way.

Big Words for Fearless Girls is a first-of-its-kind primer bursting with powerful first words girls will need to pursue their big dreams.

Girls will also find hundreds of powerful words on activism, government, science, engineering, and more to get them ready to blaze ahead and better the world!
