"I Am Bold, Brave, and Beautiful" by Lucía Types is a delightful affirmation journal tailored for girls. Filled with empowering prompts and positive encouragement, it provides a nurturing space for self-reflection and growth. Lucía Types' thoughtful approach makes this journal a valuable tool for fostering confidence and resilience in young readers. I definitely recommend this for a young lady.

Really beautiful book!!! Gorgeous 🥰


Thank you soooooo much netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced review copy if this book💗

Thank you Netgalley for the digital copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

I would first like to note that the only reason I would not recommend our library to purchase this title, or to recommend the purchase of this title is because the book acts as more of a creative journal for self exploration rather than a resource that many could utilize. This would make for a really good gift for a tween or teen. It has many sections to draw, colour and express yourself based off the prompts offered on each page.

The prompts encourage self expression, self navigation and inner work, opportunities for compassion and empathy for others, and opportunities to be creative on each space. The pages are set up with an outlined illustration (such as a potted plant, or the outline of a cellphone) with the written prompt beside it encouraging exploration of the topic and an opportunity to create and colour in the journal at the same time. This can be helpful while an individual spends time reflecting on the question being asked.

A fun, interactive journal for young folks beginning their journalling journey.

Really cute book.
I love the diversity of quotes added throughout and plenty of room to doodle ones own thoughts and feelings. Would purchase for the preteens in my life and some adults too!

Absolutely love it! Filled with wonderful positivity and inspiring prompts and activities. Very creative and a joy to read. I've read a lot of interactive journals for kids and I was so pleasantly surprised to find this one had its own style and new ideas.

Dear Author, could you please make an adult version of this? xx

Once upon a time, I used to be wary of affirmations. Like many people, I have asked myself if they work. But my own experiences have taught me the power of repeating words enough times that you start believing them.

Girls are taught a lot of things since a young age, unlearning which takes a lifetime of work, I think this journal does a brilliant job at focusing on positive affirmations that come from prompts that girls can answer. Will definitely recommend this and buy this for children I know.

One major plus: it isn't just personal affirmation, but general life lessons about being human also - of course all of it draws back to how capable young girls can be, so covering the power of apologies, kindness, compassion, resilience, music, creativity, etc seems like a big plus.

Yes yes and more yes!!

My daughter's love this book and I love the prompts to help them embrace their uniqueness: freaky flaws and all.

Will definitely follow this author and share this book with other mamas.

I loved everything about this beautiful journal and would have loved one of these when I was younger. I think even as an adult I could benefit from this journal.

There are so many great prompts throughout the book with not only cute coloring pages but blank pages as well. I loved the positive messages and encouraging quotes along with the affirmations. I love the flow of the journal and that it allows the user to be as creative as they would like to be.

Would have loved to have had something like this as a young girl! This is a great book meant to inspire and empower young girls. I like that it has many different activities and coloring options. I also enjoy the positive messages through the book.

This is such a beautiful book! I cannot wait to get a physical copy for my daughter. I would have loved to have something like this when I was younger! It is filled with amazing pictures to color and prompts to complete. I love the positive, empowering nature of this journal. It would make a wonderful gift!

This would be a great gift for any creative teen girl or young adult. Great prompts for journaling or doodling, along with inspiring quotes and art, and areas to create your own.

Very cute. Has coloring areas that make the book interactive. Nice quotes and other aspects to help young girls with their self esteem.

I have been searching for a book like this for a long time. Great prompts, great quotes from inspirational figures, cute illustrations that can be colored or drawings can be added to. One of my favorites lines in the beginning of the book is that this is your book. If you want to rip a page out and give it to someone else, do it. If you want to start writing and you don’t finish and have to come back another day, do it. What a beautiful release to use this book anyway YOU want to use it.

This was a lovely book of affirmations and meditations. Probably best suited to girls 9-12. Would make a lovely Birthday gift and would be, well received. Some lovely pictures which would be great for colouring in while the reader mulled over the positive messages.

This is a great journal for young girls. I like the flow and layout of the journal. Lord of great, interactive pictures and activities. I wish I had had something like this when I was younger. Such a great way to independently work through your feelings, when you might not want to talk with other people yet. I plan to purchase for my nieces..

I love this! I work in mental health, primarily with youth & adolescents. I can definitely see this being a book I would recommend to my middle school/early high school female clients. There are many opportunities to be creative and expressive through art, as well as many opportunities to learn about things such as affirmations, self-care, and even some breathing techniques. Definitely a useful workbook/tool for pre-teen/teen girls struggling with self-esteem.

This is so cute! A mix between a journal and coloring book (but not juvenile!), there are many different types of prompts and messages throughout. There are also pages with small quotes with space on the rest for you to draw/doodle/write whatever you want! The drawings are a super cute aesthetic, and the messages are awesome, even for an adult like me to refresh on! I think this is a great book for young girls.

This is such a good beginner’s level journal regarding building self esteem, confidence and creativity.

I find the prompts quite comforting as well as motivational. The illustrations are minimal but whole pages which I really appreciate.

I appreciate the space the pages have. However, I do expect journals to have different patterns of the pages (lined/dotted or black) according to the prompts.

Overall a good journal. Zeitgeist, for the advance reading copy.

I love how this journal is laid out. It has plenty of inspiring quotes from strong women throughout. I love that there are pages that you don't have to write, but you can color and circle options that define you. I also like that the "blank pages" are graph paper. Makes a blank page seem less intimidating. The prompts are sweet and not too juvenile. This is definitely something I would gift to my daughters!
