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.”
“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

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.
