In a world where girls and women often face barriers to education, leadership, and opportunity, Sarina stands out as a beacon of courage and determination. This inspiring story follows her journey from a young girl in Afghanistan who refused to be silenced, to a leader who dared to dream big. When others told her 'no,' Sarina discovered her own way to say 'yes.' She studied in a tent classroom despite danger, organized a secret basketball team when girls were discouraged from playing sports, and became the youngest elected female provincial official in her country. Her journey continued as she pursued a law degree in the United States, determined to use her education to advocate for justice and equality.Through every challenge, Sarina shows young readers that courage, determination, and hope are powerful tools that can transform lives and communities. Her story illuminates the strength of one person to create change, the importance of education, and the enduring power of resilience even in the face of adversity.The authors, Maya and Alexis, first met Sarina through JaxTHRIVE, a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring and empowering refugee youth. Inspired by her leadership, bravery, and unwavering belief in herself, they share her story to encourage children everywhere to believe in their own voices, take bold steps toward their dreams, and make a difference in the world around them. With vivid illustrations and heartfelt storytelling, this book celebrates courage, friendship, and the limitless potential of girls and young women across the globe.
