Come along for a rollicking ride in this picture book celebration of vehicles that puts girls in the drivers seat!
Girls can raceand girls can fly. Girls can rocket way up high!
Piloting fire trucks, trains, tractors, and more, the girls in this book are on the go! Join them for an exuberant journey that celebrates how girls can doand driveanything.
Girl power meets things that go in this colorful early picture book. Girls with diverse skin colors, hair colors, and hair textures drive, conduct, steer, speed, rev, fly, build, load, dump, and rocket in vehicles of many different types....A hit for girls who identify strongly with girlhood and love things that go.

This rousing call to girl power....puts girls in the drivers seat of all kinds of vehicles, in which they haul things around, steer into port, fly through the air, and save peoplemaking a lot of noise as they work....Active verbs abound, the rhyming text is propulsive, and Blacks illustrations are blasting with color and movement. A satisfying ending moves the text from what girls can do to What about you Give it a try! Go, girl, go!
