Bilingual Book Inspires Girls to Dream Big
San Antonio Author Celebrates Ambition with “Girls Are Unstoppable”
A new bilingual coloring book, “Girls Are Unstoppable: Bilingual Girls Coloring Book of Various Occupations,” is empowering young readers. Author Gabriela Ibarra Noriega aims to dismantle limiting beliefs and champion boundless aspirations for girls everywhere.
A Tribute to Resilience
Noriega, who grew up between Monterrey, Nuevo León, and San Antonio’s West Side, drew inspiration from the formidable women in her life. After losing her father at a young age, she witnessed firsthand the strength and determination of her mother and grandmother.
These women, facing adversity with grit, became her role models. Noriega’s own upbringing instilled in her a deep understanding of the importance of female empowerment.
Opening Doors to Possibilities
The vibrant coloring book introduces children to a diverse array of professions, from astronauts to electricians, encouraging them to envision themselves in any career. It’s a celebration of ambition and representation, specifically aiming to uplift girls from underrepresented backgrounds.
“Girls Are Unstoppable” serves as a potent reminder that societal barriers can be overcome with self-belief and perseverance. This message is particularly crucial as studies show a persistent gender gap in STEM fields, with women making up only 28% of the STEM workforce in the U.S. (Pew Research Center, 2023).
