A much needed book for troubled times, Girls on the Rise celebrates the power of having a voice and speaking up for change. When girls get together, there is nothing they can not accomplish and even though they may have differences, Gorman writes, "we might have our own voices, but we're singing the same song." If they work together, they are too powerful to ignore.
Illustrations are inclusive and multicultural. Girls on the Rise embraces change and the spirit of a strong sisterhood. Girls, "are gutsy...gorgeous, gleaming, giving and gifted, glorious glitter and grit."
Artwork is digital using Adobe Photoshop and collage art. Highly recommended ages 2 and up.
