We recently interviewed the author about the inspiration behind this book. You can read what she had to say by clicking here.
When little Sophie starts pondering her future she is too excited to sleep. She lies under the covers, eyes wide open, thinking about all the things she might achieve in life. Excited, she leaps out of bed – she simply has to tell her parents right now!
With her mum and dad listening, Sophie lays out her plans. Perhaps she could be a pilot and fly through the clouds, or an engineer who designs planes. Or how about a lawyer, a doctor, a teacher, a CEO, or a coder? Maybe she could do something sporty and win medals for her country. Sophie truly believes that she can be whatever she wants to be. There are so many options – how will she choose?
This a fantastic resource for boosting confidence and self-esteem. It shows a diverse group of women succeeding in a wide range of roles, many of which are traditionally considered to be ‘male’. We also see Sophie’s parents supporting her dreams and encouraging her to follow her heart. They offer her great advice, which we should ALL pay attention to – make sure that people treat you with respect, surround yourself with those who love you, don’t be afraid of failing and always believe in yourself.
Throughout the story Sophie repeats the mantra ‘I Can, I Will’ and Ivy picked this up really quickly, joining in each time I read the line. She also likes the fact that Sophie’s toy bunny joins in with her career adventures and likes to try and spot her on every page!
