Rosemary McCarney, President and CEO of Plan International Canada, has followed up the her popular picture book Every Day is Malala Day with a book for middle grade readers, also inspired by her international development work. Working with Plan, Rosemary helped craft its Because I am a Girl global initiative to end gender inequality, promote girls' rights, and lift millions of girls out of poverty, and helped lead the charge for the United Nations to declare October 11th the International Day of the Girl - a day each year to recognize and advocate for girls' rights globally. This book illustrates the Because I am a Girl call to change by telling the stories of individual girls throughout the world. They tell us: Because I am a girl, I eat if there is food left over when everyone is done and I am the poorest of the poor. The later stories are about hope, with chapters like Because I am a girl, I will share what I know and I am the heart of my community and I can change the world. Illustrated with Plan's amazing photographs and including Did You Know fact sections.
