I just found out about a new book being promoted by Girls Inc., which is a wonderful organization dedicated to inspiring girls to be “strong, smart and bold,” The book is called You’re Amazing! A No-Pressure Guide to Being Your Best Self and it was written by Claire Mysko for girls aged 9–12.
Here’s how the book is described on the Girls, Inc. Web site (http://girlsinc.org).
“Inspired by The Supergirl Dilemma report, in which more than 1,000 girls shared their stories of feeling pressure to be perfect, You’re Amazing! is a girl’s guide to giving up the quest to be “super” and to start celebrating what makes her amazing. Packed with Girls Inc. activities, quizzes, insight from girls and older teens, and advice from women role models, the book gives girls the tools and tips to feel good about who they are. You’re Amazing! addresses the issues challenging girls today—from family to school to crushes to the future—and encourages girls to find the inner voice that makes them unique, special, and above all, amazing.”
Girls Inc. also asked a mother-daughter duo to talk about their thoughts on the book. You can listen to what they have to say by clicking this link: http://girlsinc.org/ic/page.php?id=2.4.46 and scrolling down to the special feature with a photo. You’ll also find reviews for the book on the same page.
I look forward to checking this book out with both my daughters.
