Maya's Big Question (Ambitious Girl, 3) (shelf 267)

Maya is proud of who she is: a curious kid who loves to ask questions. When her class takes a trip to Washington, DC, and only visits monuments dedicated to men, Maya asks: “Where are all the women?” With help from a park ranger who knows that asking questions is one of the most powerful things you can do, Maya decides to celebrate the women in her community with a monument of their own. But how can a kid build something so big? It takes creativity, community, and ambition—and Maya is the right person for the job! Inspired by real-life park ranger Betty Reid Soskin, this latest book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Meena Harris encourages kids to question the status quo, and to embrace their part in writing the next chapter of history.
