Amanda Gorman, now 26, has released her fourth book titled 'Girls on the Rise', illustrated by Loveis Wise.

Gorman aims to engage young readers thoughtfully, respecting their emotional intelligence and avoiding condescension.

In her writing, she reflects on her own experiences with gender-based bullying and societal expectations, advocating for open dialogue on these critical issues.

She highlights the challenges that young girls face today, emphasizing the urgent need for systemic change to ensure their safety and protection.

Gorman believes that fostering community and support among girls can help alleviate feelings of isolation and empower them.

In an interview with NPR, she underscored the theme of solidarity among young girls, noting that many often feel alone.

The book employs vibrant colors and imagery to create a safe space for discussions surrounding gender identity and the experiences of youth.

Published in January 2025, this book comes four years after Gorman made history as the youngest inaugural poet during President Joe Biden's inauguration in 2021.

'Girls on the Rise' is currently available for purchase at various retailers.
