This book invites girls to shake off preconceived notions of what a girl is and embrace talents, body image, likes, and dislikes in a celebration of their own individuality. Each page reminds readers to embrace what makes them unique…and to be their own advocates, promoting individuality, inclusion, kindness, and courage throughout. The group of friends, beautifully represented by Kayla Harren, is multi-racial and includes a girl who uses a wheelchair and a girl who wears hijab. This book is full (of) affirmations to show the girl in your life just how unique she is. Try new things, be brave, choose kindness, and wear what makes you happy.
