Excellent as a journal for one girl or as a tool to use in a group setting for writing and discussion. Each entry covers a different topic and then allows space for the reader to do their own writing. Topics are particularly relevant today, such as the entry, “Airbrushed.” Doesn’t talk down or issue simple edicts, such as “love yourself,” but takes a different approach, which respects intelligence and individuality. There is an emphasis on empowerment, self-esteem and personal accountability.
Lovely GirlsÂ
Let the competition stop right nowÂ
The comparisons end todayÂ
Never more will I look at another girlÂ
And wonder which is better fitÂ
Which of us is trimmerÂ
Who deserves more praiseÂ
For their sense of styleÂ
We are all of us lovely girlsÂ
Let me forever forwardÂ
Notice what I find unique about eachÂ
What charming qualityÂ
I easily take note ofÂ
As I look upon them withÂ
More admiring eyesÂ
Today I will consciously endeavorÂ
To see the beauty all around meÂ
In every shape and sizeÂ
Every wisp of hairÂ
And each unique tone of skinÂ
What could be more beautifulÂ
Than the exquisite truthÂ
Of our perfect individuality?Â
Let me forever celebrateÂ
The beauty in every girl around meÂ
For we are all of usÂ
Lovely girlsÂ

A fresh approach A smart approach to engaging girls in discussion and self-reflection. Best part is that it lets them do their own exploring/expression without talking down to them.
LOVED IT! Great book. A definite must read!
Great book for the ladies. This is one book that every girl / lady should read. It educated us on how to love ourselves more and how others should also see us. The perspective of the author is really great and this is something I will pass on to my sister and daughter in the future.
