GIRLS ON THE RISE

The youngest ever inaugural poet, Amanda Gordon, brings to life her powerful poem and message to all girls. It's a love letter to girls using any pronoun, from any culture, and with any level of ambition, saying that they have the means to make change, inspire and support others, and achieve their goals. Gordon's narration is motivating and vigorous. Delivered at a steady pace, this short, 4-minute poem provides just enough inspiration to be thought provoking and start a conversation. This would make a great gift to any girl--whether she aspires to do great things or is still discovering her path. G.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
