Dear Girl, Be Free

"Be fearless, sweet girl. Be fierce in your journey. Each path laid before you will help you keep learning."

Before they ever learn the ways of the world, girls are often taught to be delicate, to always use their manners, to speak gently, to never make a fuss. People tell them that girls are nurturers, helpers, caregivers. They learn to never be too bossy, too loud, too wild, too much.

Instead of telling girls all the things they shouldn't be, Dear Girl, Be Free exemplifies--with inspiring rhymes and fanciful illustrations--how girls can be anyone they want to be. They can be brave, adventurous, and daring. They can be bold and caring, loud and gentle, determined and doubtful. Sometimes they're fearless, and sometimes they need an encouraging friend by their side. They can both help those in need and run wild and free. Girls don't have to just be one thing. Girls can be anything!

With the help of Dear Girl, Be Free, teach the girls in your life that they shouldn't be afraid to speak up for what they want or express what's in their heart, and teach your boys that girls have all the same amazing qualities they have. With a little help, the girls of the world won't shy away and hide. They'll spread their wings and fly!
