Run the World Like a Girl
Girls and women make up half the world's population, but there is a long way to go to see the same representation in politics. Today's girls can make that number grow! Run the World Like a Girl tells the inspirational stories of twelve girls from across the globe who became leaders of their countries. Who were they as young people? What motivated them? Although they came from different backgrounds and different paths, they shared the same desire for positive change--and the belief that they could be the ones to bring it. Vigdis Finnbogad籀ttir of Iceland was the first woman to be democratically elected as president of a country. Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan was the first woman elected to lead a democratic government in a Muslim-majority country. Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand was the first woman to have a baby during her time as Prime Minister. Kamala Harris is one of only two women to come within reach of being President of the United States. All twelve extraordinary girls in this book, and the powerful women they became, show us how to Run the World Like a Girl.
The Prince Reimagined for Women 2025
The Prince Reimagined for Women in 2025 by Esme Mees & Claudia Mayfair is the war map for women we need right now. Let's not pretend things are fine-our rights are being stripped away faster than we can organize. Our bodies, our autonomy, our voices? Up for debate by men who see us as nothing more than vessels for their legacy. We're watching a full-speed rollback of the rights our grandmothers and great-grandmothers fought for, and if we don't act now, we'll be right back in the 19th century. What's next? No voting? No bank accounts? Barefoot, pregnant, and silent while men accused of rape ascend to the highest levels of power? They expect us to just sit back and take it. Not on your petty, patriarchal life. This book takes Machiavelli's blueprint for power and rewrites it for the woman who's done asking for a seat at the table and ready to take the whole damn room. In typical Esme Mees fashion, she calls out the billionaires, politicians, and corrupt institutions holding us down, while new voice at Eatms Productions, Claudia Mayfair brings the receipts-historical proof that powerful women have always had to fight smarter, harder, and without apology.

Are We There Yet?
Hitch a ride on the first road trip across the United States of America in this rollicking nonfiction picture book from Ezra Jack Keats Honor winner Stacy McAnulty and New York Times bestselling illustrator Elizabeth Baddeley! It's 1903 when Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson bets fifty dollars that he can drive a horseless carriage (a car) across the USA, from California to New York, in less than three months. Considering Dr. Jackson doesn't know how to drive, there are no highways yet, and everyone else who's tried the trip has failed, the odds are stacked against him. Still, he hires a bike racer to act as mechanic, and the two set off in Dr. Jackson's car, the Vermont, with their team mascot, Bud the bulldog. Their trip is far from easy street. The duo must pull the car across streams, drive through deep mud and over rocky terrain, and wait for a stagecoach to bring spare parts. And with no windshield, doors, or a roof, every bump in the road means boingy boingy boingy--until things bounce right out of the car! Then two more teams start out from California, and the race is on! Can a doctor, a bike racer, and a bulldog make it across the finish line first?
