Crews has illustrated the book in her signature photograph collages. This book does a great job countering those messages, showing girls who stretch the limits as happy, confident and part of a larger group. Told in very simple lines, this picture book talks frankly about the limitations placed on girls in our society and the pressures they feel to conform. The book ends with each of the girls in the photographs sharing a bit about themselves and their personal dreams for their futures. But instead of listening to the critics, in this picture book they embrace wearing costumes and head to the beach together where they created something even better than their dreams. Girls shouldn’t be flying, they shouldn’t walk tall, and they need to stay out of the water. Sometimes when girls dream big, people say that they shouldn’t be doing that.
