Amelia Bloomer List

The world is full of great things to be and do! Meet Aliki, Belinda, Chris, and 23 more girls who are imagining what they will be when they grow up—from astronaut to zookeeper.


What would you like to be when you grow up? An astronaut? A ballet dancer, a computer whiz? The world is full of great things to do. But like Aliki, Belinda, Chris, and the other girls in this book, you have to have a dream. Eve Bunting’s breezy, rhyming text, with lively illustrations by Suzanne Bloom, invites girls to “dream any dream you want to dream.”
Eve Bunting is the author of the Caldecott-winning Smoky Night, illustrated by David Diaz. Among her many other titles are Will It Be a Baby Brother?, Mouse Island, Emma's Turtle, Baby Can, My Red Balloon, and My Special Day at Third Street School. She lives in Pasadena, California.

Suzanne Bloom is the author and illustrator of the picture books featuring Goose and Bear: A Splendid Friend, Indeed, a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book; Treasure; What About Bear? and Oh! What a Surprise! Her other books include Feeding Friendsies, No Place for a Pig, A Mighty Fine Time Machine, and the popular The Bus for Us. She lives with her family in McDonough, New York.

“Bunting expands the horizon of employment opportunities for young girls... Bloom’s exuberantly colored illustrations convey the enthusiasm of these youngsters as they test the waters of possibilities. . . .A treasure that should be on every young girl’s bookshelf and maybe on a boy’s as well.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The message is clear: girls can be anything they want to be.”—Booklist

“The rhyming text and the engaging illustrations celebrate girls—and their dreams—the world over.”—Children’s Literature
