What a fantastic book! Filled with informative and inspiring stories from girls around the world, this is an important read for young and old. I love the stories are based on true experiences and the information provided on issues facing girls around the world.
This is a great accessible read, enough detail to be informative, but no so much that it's too overwhelming. And with lovely illustrations to accompany the text. Highly recommend!

This was an interesting book, revealing the terrible injustices perpetrated against women, but also keeping the tone of the book hopeful by describing positive stories about each of the different girls overcoming an obstacle in their lives. The book is obviously very well researched as is demonstrated from the end notes where each fact is supported by a different study or article. It was an interesting book. The only concern I have with the book is that in general it is a lot of information fit into a small package, and it might overwhelm some of my elementary readers. It's good, but it might wear out some readers before they get to the end.

Firstly, this book is BEAUTIFULLY illustrated.
Beyond that, it does what it sets out to do well in an accessible way for children and I learned some things along the way about a day I'm sure many don't realise exists or at least when it is.
We see a diverse range of girls and their stories and I can see this being a valuable resource within a classroom.
I only wish that there was more of it!

This book is basically about how UN designates a day just to celebrate girl child.
In here there are many stories of girls from different parts of world.Inspiring stories of young girls fighting against society's discrimination towards girls .
A must read for all the girls out there.A nust have for school libraries.

I really like how every page has a story about a girl, and with a picture connected to it. I also liked that every page has a text box with accurate information about the situation in a country, so that it isn't just stories but reflections of a country. Would be really nice to use in a 5th-7th grade classroom!

This beautifully illustrated book does a wonderful job of telling the stories of girls around the world and the human rights issues they face. The 9 girls we meet are strong, smart, creative, inventive, brave, talented, caring, funny, and ambitious in the face of their varied circumstances. The authors do a beautiful job of taking what could be frighteningly told via scare tactics or victim blaming (as was the experience for many women, I'm sure, myself included) and turning it into an incredibly empowering story. The authors superbly exemplify how to have these conversations.

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who wants to engage themselves with the next generation of strong women.
