It’s never too early to start inspiring the next generation of leaders, and with this diverse collection of picture books about girls, you can encourage young learners to aim high in all areas of life.

Featuring both fiction and nonfiction titles, the books on this list give center stage to girls who change the world in their own unique way — whether it's running for president in school or making headlines in the Children's March. Help all of your students discover the power of dreaming big and how one voice can make the largest impact!  

For example, Not Yet is the beautiful story of a little girl named Zahra who falls in love with ice skating after watching a movie about the sport. She sets her mind to learning how to skate, even though most skaters don't look like her... at least, not yet!

In We Dream a World, Yolanda Renee King pays a moving tribute to her grandparents — Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King — while encouraging young readers to forge their own paths as they honor their elders' legacy in making the world a better place.

Whether you’re lesson planning for Women’s History Month or looking to add more variety to your class library, the richly detailed illustrations and engaging tales of these pictures books will always have your students striving for more.
