GIRLS INC. PRESENTS: YOU'RE AMAZING!
- CLAIRE MYSKO
In The Supergirl Dilemma, a recent report commissioned by Girls Incorporated, more than 1,000 girls grades 3-12 shared stories of feeling increasing pressure to be perfect all of the time. GIRLS INC. PRESENTS: YOU'RE AMAZING! is the first guide to help girls give up the quest to be "super" and start celebrating what makes them remarkable.
A solution to gender stereotypes and mixed messages, GIRLS INC. PRESENTS: YOU'RE AMAZING! addresses issues challenging girls today—family, school, body image, crushes, and the future—and empowers girls to find the inner voice that makes them unique, special, and above all, amazing! Packed with Girls Inc. activities, quizzes, insight from girls and older teens, and advice from women role models including a NASA engineer, female bloggers, MTV's SuChin Pak, Self-Esteem expert Jess Weiner, and Paralympic athlete Bonnie St. John, the book gives girls tools and tips to feel good about who they are.
