Book cover of <i>Girls Can Be Engineers</i>
The book “Girls Can Be Engineers” by Jamila H. Lindo encourages young children to be excited about any career, regardless of their gender.

The book touches on the common trend of underrepresentation of women in STEM fields, further elaborating on how that can be reflected in children’s aspirations. Young protagonist Hannah’s mother, an engineer, explains that the work of an engineer is not affected by gender, sending the resounding message that anyone can be an engineer.

This book would make for a great bedtime story read by a caregiver, inspiring children to be brave and pursue their dream jobs. - K. R. Schieltz, Purdue Reviewer
