This empowering picture book features a diverse cast of little girls dreaming of all the things they can be when they grow up and exploring how they can serve God in all kinds of careers.

I’ll keep trusting God, and then I will see
exactly who He wants me to be.

An artist, a teacher, a doctor, a stay-at-home mom—there are so many things a girl might want to be when she grows up. And even if she changes her mind as she cultivates new passions and skills, that’s okay! The important thing to remember is that she will discover the talents and desires given to her by God as she grows and learns. Whether she becomes a protector, healer, builder, or creator, she can use her gifts to share God’s love with others!

Join Haley, Isabela, Lexi, and Ashley as they explore different careers and encourage all girls to trust God and who he created them to be!

I’m Haley. I love to help people when they’re not feeling well.

My grandpa has a bad cough. I use my stethoscope
to listen to his chest.

“One day, I’m going to be a doctor,” I tell him.
“Then I can give medicine to people who are sick.”

“God gave you a tender heart, Haley,” Grandpa says.
“You would be a great doctor.”

I spin around and close my eyes. I imagine wearing a
white coat with a real stethoscope around my neck.

“Time to visit the next patient!”

Sweet Book for Young Girls

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

Crystal Bowman and Michelle Lazurek have written a sweet book for girls of all nationalities, encouraging them to think about and trust God for their futures. Preschoolers and small elementary-age children act out and dream about being stay-at-home moms, doctors, teachers, and so much more—whoever God wants them to be. Using colorful clothes and props, I love how the authors include motivations for the girls throughout the book, like wanting to make others happy by serving and helping in a variety of ways. Great gift for daughters, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, and any young girl.

A celebration of girls!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

Once upon a time, the number of careers available for women amounted to a few possibilities. But this book broadens a girl’s thinking to dream beyond what she thought she could be or do. The authors take care to include a variety of careers. Through a repeating refrain, the text reminds girls that they will become exactly who God wants them to be when they trust him. A sweet read to celebrate girls and explore the endless possibilities God provides!

A picture book that encourages girls to believe they can be all God wants them to be. By exploring their interests and gifts, girls are encouraged to follow their dreams and discover a future that helps others and honors God. The book focuses on God’s unique plan for each girl and encourages them to trust God for their future. The book’s illustrations are beautifully done and includes girls of different color skin and nationality.
