Review
As a mom there is only so many “A is for Apple, B is for Ball” ABC books one can handle. That’s why I loved Meena Harris’ “A is for Ambitious” so much, it is a fresh take on the alphabet, while educating children on the importance of being headstrong, loud, opinionated, quirky and so much more. These aren’t necessarily every day words, and they certainly aren’t another boring take on ABCs.
The unique alphabet pairings are further brought to life by Valdez’ bright and bold illustrations. Feature individuals of all colors and abilities there is representation abound across the pages. From rallies, to gardening, science to scuba diving, the activities portrayed within further add to the fun throughout this read.
For any parent, kid, teacher, or caregiver tired of the same old ABCs, tired of not seeing their kids represented, ready to a fresh take on with an inclusive book, “A is for Ambitious” is for you. This will certainly become a staple around our own house.
