Run the world like a girl : international women leaders

Graham, Kate, 1984-


Girls and women make up half the world's population, but we have a long way to go to see equal representation for women in the highest levels of politics. The world is full of inequality, but fifteen percent of countries today have a woman president or prime minister. Today's girls will make that number grow! Let's be inspired by the lives of twelve girls from across the globe who went on to become leaders of their countries. Who were they as young people? What motivated them? They all come from different backgrounds and had different paths, but what unites them is a desire for positive change -- and the belief that they could be the ones to bring it

Guts

Telgemeier, Raina,


Raina wakes up one night with a terrible upset stomach. Her mom has one, too, so it's probably just a bug. Raina eventually returns to school, where she's dealing with the usual highs and lows: friends, not-friends, and classmates who think the school year is just one long gross-out session. It soon becomes clear that Raina's tummy trouble isn't going away... and it coincides with her worries about food, school, and changing friendships. What's going on? Raina Telgemeier once again brings us a thoughtful, charming, and funny true story about growing up and gathering the courage to face -- and conquer -- her fears.
