All I can say is that I wish I had this book growing up and I am grateful that it is available for my children. The authors summed it up perfectly when they said this book makes a point to encourage girls to make \u201cbold choices\u201d that \u201cserve their health- physically, mentally, and emotionally.\u201d This stopped me in my tracks because of how powerful and so very much needed this is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The illustrations depict the diversity in what it means to be a girl and reinforce that theme throughout the book. One of my favorite pictures is the one that shows a group of girls at a sleepover. They are laughing, talking, and enjoying each other\u2019s presence. The group is made of a wide variety of races, ethnicities, and cultures. I kept thinking how this was lacking in many of the sleepovers I went to growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope all girls are able to have access to the message demonstrated in the book throughout their lives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/10548\/9781534110960\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Add it to your bookshelf!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankmurphybooks.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Frank Murphy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Illustrator: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kaylaharren.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kayla Harren<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Publisher: <a href=\"https:\/\/sleepingbearpress.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sleeping Bear Press<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post contains affiliate links and I receive a small commission at no cost to you.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book is a dedication to the expression of individuality, the building of positive self-esteem, and the acceptance of others.
