Sadie proves that girly girls can get their hands dirty and be brave, too!Lyrical text is complemented by bright and lively illustrations, and Sadie’s fearlessness will leave readers ready to grab their satin capes and head out on their own adventures!Praise for I'm Gonna Climb a Mountain..."This enthusiastic take on girl power embraces having it all—with both strength and style."-- School Library Journal"Singer's story crackles with humor and attitude, its driving rhythms making it an infectious read-aloud. Avril's busy illustrations, using pastel chalk over a pencil outline, display a range of bright colors and have a slightly dreamy cast, as if they came right out of Sadie's head. So can a girl rough it in ruffles? Silly question."-- Kirkus Reviews
