Happy Monday Magic.
It is time for Monday Magic, where we kick off our week with big inspiration and boundless energy.
Today, our StoryBeam is shining a radiant light on Girls of the World doing cool things everywhere
by Lindsay Davis and Michael Tyler.
Girls all over the world are intelligent, are creative, smart, and doing all amazing things every single day.
They sure are.
From scientists and athletes, to artists, leaders, and dreamers,
this empowering book celebrates the unique strength, diversity, and spirit of girls everywhere.
Let's get our ears on.
I've got mine. Ready?
Three, two, one, let's read.
Here the cast reads Girls of the World: Doing More Than Ever Before by Lindsay Davis and Michael Tyler. The book's own words stay with its author and publisher, so that part of the recording is not written out. Press play to hear it.
What an incredible way to kick off our week.
It reminds us that no matter where you live or how old you are,
your voice and your dreams have the power to change the world.
Co-host, what is one cool thing you want to accomplish or try out this week?
I think riding my bike, because I would ride with my mommy and daddy.
That sounds like the start of a great new adventure.
I can't wait to go riding with you.
Grownups, if your little dreamers love today's empowering message,
our StoryBeam suggestion for your library bag is

It is an extraordinary heart-filled love letter to girls everywhere
to be themselves and stay curious.

Monday Magic is about one small brave thing. Kat asks Allison what she wants to try this week; ask the same at your table and write the answer where everyone can see it.
What is one cool thing you want to try or accomplish this week?
The book says girls everywhere are ready to go. What are you ready to go and do?
Who is someone you know who speaks up for what they need? What did they say?
