The Book
This book is inspirational and wonderfully written. Loujain is a feisty determined little girl who believes she can accomplish anything but being a girl in her country puts limitations on her dreams. She proclaims that ever little girls should have the opportunity to aim for the moon and fly to the sunflowers. She focuses on her goals and determines that nothing is going to deter her from making them happen.
This book will encourage girls ( both young and old worldwide ), to never give up, to set the bar high, and to keep their eyes fixed on the prize.... successfully achieving their dreams. It is about dreaming big, being brave, and overcoming fears and challenges they will face along the way.
The book is based upon the life and experiences of co-author Lina AlHathloul's sister, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Loujain AlHathloul, who championed the campaign to dissolve the ban in Saudi Arabia where women were not allowed to drive. The illustrations are beautiful and the heartfelt story is timeless. I highly recommend this book.
