To all the girls in the world who dare to dream
Our Mom's dedication to their work and to us, their children, inspired us to write this book.
Growing up we understood that women could and should pursue any career they want.
We wanted to share our story with all the girls in the world and inspire each to pursue your passions and to dream big.
Unless you have dreams, they cannot come true!
"Every child should read this book so that as they grow up they realize not only their own potential and promise, but also that of the women around them!"
