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.
