School of Awake ─ A Girl's Guide to the Universe

Seamlessly integrating consciousness and cool, this is a modern girl’s guide to her inner world. Author Kidada Jones acts as a smart, sassy, and very hip older-sister guide to tweens. She understands the challenges they face — whether mainstream, rebel, tomboy, edgy, or girly — and offers dozens of ways to be themselves and navigate the world without losing sight of what’s important. Q&As, ceremonies, crafts, and even recipes remind, affirm, and inspire. Readers learn how to connect with their heart in happy or difficult moments, resist bullying, clarify their wishes and use affirmations, build self-esteem, and breathe to calm and connect. The book the author wishes she’d had when she was young, this is a unique introduction to mind, body, and spirit consciousness for young girls and the grown-up girls — and boys — who care about their well-being.

Kidada Jones has worked as a model, fashion designer, stylist, and product designer. She has worked with Vibe magazine, Disney, Tommy Hilfiger, and Hasbro, always sharing her appealing style and spiritual seeking. She also volunteers in mentoring programs, helping young girls build self-esteem and confidence. She lives in California.
