Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This volume from the best-selling Positive Quotation series presents more than 1,000 life-affirming maxims to cheer and inspire today's teen and preteen girls.

Like the previous books in this series, The Girl's Book makes use of a practical, theme-based arrangement. Each chapter begins with a one-page reading on topics such as Friendship, Self-Confidence, Risk-taking, Helping Others, or Adjusting to Change. Each reading is then followed by several dozen related quotes by inspirational females, including:

• JK Rowling
• Miley Cyrus
• Helen Keller
• Jessica Alba
• Eleanor Roosevelt
• Kelly Clarkson

and hundreds of others from the worlds of arts and entertainment, business, public service, science, and sports.

With its "squeezable" padded binding, sunny interior artwork, and helpful index, this comforting volume is the perfect gift or stocking-stuffer---a great way to tell a girl, "You inspire me!"
