physicist, electrical engineer, and world-renowned inventor whose
accomplishments faded into oblivion after his death in 1943. Some

during his lifetime have since become reality. He is now
acknowledged to have invented the radio ahead of Marconi.
Tesla was undeniably eccentric and compulsive. Among other
things, Tesla developed generators, fluorescent tubes, neon lights,
and a small remote-controlled boat. He also helped design the
world’s first hydroelectric plant at Niagara Falls. Nikola

I’m supposed to be made of sugar and spice and all things nice.
But I’m sweet and sour and not a little flower. I am a girl! I am
a girl! I am a girl! The girl in this book likes to win, she likes
to be spontaneous, fast and strong, and because she also likes to
dress in t-shirt and shorts, she is forever getting mistaken for a
boy. And when she meets a boy who likes wearing princess dresses
and playing dolls, they both quickly discover that they share
interests that are wide and varied. I am a Girl! is a wonderful
celebration of being who we are and not being pigeon-holed or
restricted by gender stereotypes. Most of all it is full of energy
and laugh-out-loud funny. Who says that pink is for girls and blue
is for boys?
