Stories for Younger Girls… and the adults supporting them.
-
17 BY 17™ is a series of stories that follow the journey of three strong and engaging high school girls - Lexi, Indira, and Megan - as they actively work to develop the 17 traits, qualities, and skills associated with becoming a successful CEO.
The stories are narrated by Lexi’s observant little sister, Ayla, as she tags along on their adventures. Ayla admires these older girls and lovingly refers to them as the “BBBs,” because they are “Bright, Bold and Brave.”Our young readers will gain an understanding of the 17 traits and learn actionable steps for personal development — all through the lens of the exciting adventures and new experiences of the BBBs.
