About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is exploring future careers, especially if they are expressing self-limiting beliefs or have been told some dreams are 'for boys' or 'for girls'. This imaginative book uses a young Hillary Rodham Clinton as a vessel to explore the power of dreaming big. It playfully asks 'what if' she had become a baseball player, an astronaut, or an ice hockey star, celebrating the idea that a person can be many things. It’s a wonderful tool for children ages 4-8 to foster self-confidence, creativity, and the understanding that their potential is limitless, regardless of expectations.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book does not contain sensitive topics. Its approach to identity, specifically gender identity in career choices, is direct, positive, and empowering. It shows a girl confidently imagining herself in traditionally male-dominated fields. The resolution is entirely hopeful and open-ended, encouraging the reader to dream.
Ideal Reader
This book is perfect for an imaginative 4 to 7-year-old who loves to play 'what if' and is in the phase of dreaming about what they want to be when they grow up. It's particularly impactful for a child who has been told they 'can't' do something because of their gender or who feels they have to choose just one dream.
