Shine, My Amazing Girl

Shine, My Amazing Girl is a collection of stand alone short stories that each contain wisdom and inspiration for young girls. Each story follows a different girl through an experience that imparts a valuable lesson. The book contains lessons surrounding self-acceptance, authenticity, self-belief, inner beauty, courage, balance, standing up for what’s right, and acceptance. I like the fact that there is a little note of wisdom at the end of each story.Although the stories are about different girls, the girls are connected through their school so they pop up in each other’s stories. I think this is a great way to connect the stories and offer the reader some continuity across the book as a whole. I also love that the stories are written about girls from different cultures and walks of life.Overall, I think this is a fantastic book for girls in upper elementary and middle school. It’s very entertaining, relatable, and contains great lessons and encouragement for young girls.

Books for grandkids for summer reading!! Just another cute storyline, gift for granddaughter for summer reading!! Didn’t hear a single “I’m bored”so far!!!

Easy read for 3rd grader.

My best comment is that my daughter enjoyed reading the book. As a Dad, I was initially drawn to Chapter 4 - But What if I Fail? I felt my daughter could benefit from reading about risk-taking and not being afraid to make mistakes. I wanted her to know that a lot can come from taking a risk, regardless of whether you win. Just have a little courage to see what happens. This book does an excellent job of helping girls connect to relatable situations that may occur in their own lives and building the confidence/self-esteem to handle them. Lots of powerful themes are covered in the book, and like I said, my 11-year-old daughter enjoyed the book for its powerful messaging and the dialogue used in the stories. It is an excellent book for a child needing a confidence boost.

This heart felt book has multiple stories for really anyone, but specifically girls. It touches on sensitive areas of development and the emotional impact that can have on individuals. The Kindle version text formatting got squished together for some of the pages. There is an option to download a free audio version of the book at the end which is a nice touch for audio listeners.

My daughter, who is 9 years old, is currently experiencing significant emotional and physical changes. I carefully choose books that can impart valuable life lessons, and 'Shine, My Amazing Girl' is one that I particularly liked. Before recommending it to my daughter, I read it myself. She not only enjoyed it but also read it quickly and became deeply immersed in the storyline. She has a habit of imagining herself in the shoes of the main character.The book addresses several important topics, and after reading it, I observed that my daughter contemplated its themes for an extended period. She even asked me questions about how one should handle similar situations and shared instances from the book that resonated with her. It's not just a distant story; it felt relevant to her life at times. We had insightful discussions prompted by the book, making it a compelling and unusual read. The writing style is approachable, and as a mom, I highly recommend it

I like to use books as a reward for good behavior. My granddaughter picked this one out and loved it.

It was grate I love it
