This book is gold! Growing Up Powerful is perfect for any girl!

As a mother of a little girl- this book is a gift to parents everywhere. It almost reminds me of the American Girl books about friendships, your body, etc but now updated.

This book is colorful and attractive. I can see it flawlessly grabbing the attention of a young girl. There’s so much great info but it’s all broken into bits & with clear headings. This style of book can be challenging to feel “fun” while still providing valuable information. But of course, Rebel Girls knocked it out of the park!

Topics such as body, families, school, friends, feelings, internet safety, etc are covered. There’s various quizzes throughout (which I would’ve just eaten up as a kid!) There’s various QR codes thought out. I love the list of resources and podcasts at the end!

There’s not many things more important than setting up young girls to feel powerful & good about themselves. We live in a male centered world and I’d love to see that change. This book will definitely help young girls with all their big feelings & challenges they’re going to face. The least we can do is provide them with the resources to be themselves and get through the things life will through at them. Puberty is such a confusing time. The easier we can make it on young girls- the better:

I will be purchasing this ASAP and stashing it until my daughter is ready- which may be soon!

Rebel Girl series can do no wrong!

The usual beautiful touch with the colours and pictures that I have grown to expect and continue to love. Diverse and welcoming language and imagery as well as examples.
The text is interspersed with quizzes, things to read and differing activities. The section looking at emotions was particularly impactful in our household and led to good discussions on confidence, bravery and even stress and anxiety. There is something of a manual about family life in a later section and there was a good part on speaking to parents or carers, how to ask for something you want or need and the importance of compromise.
There are some real life questions for teens which are sensitively answered and relevant for today.

This book is a powerful read for young women. It reads easily for those who may not have an adult in their lives they are comfortable discussing these topics with. The tidbits on how their brain works is fascinating and helpful as they navigate through their teen years.

I LOVE the Rebel Girls series so much! This one doesn’t disappoint either!

The cover, the content and the concept: everything works perfectly!

The first chapter discusses on our brain, our perceptions; how we are all different and how to handle the idea of perfectionism. Also, it includes the discussion on risks - the good and the bad, how to identify them and what the young girls can do about it. I appreciate how the book talks on failure.

My most favourite part comes with the talk on different emotions- how we should identify each emotion, deal with the ones we can’t handle and when it’s okay to take help.

The second chapter discusses in details about the changes while growing up. This chapter is so important and helpful I feel. This can be an entire book in itself.

The third chapter deals in connection with families - what family means, family traditions sibling troubles, how to deal with disagreements and various family activities.
The fourth chapter shows how it’s important to stand together, be stronger together - friendship and sisterhood; what possible scenarios we would face in life and how to deal with them.

The final chapter shows how we can make a difference and how our voices can be made heard!

This collection is so good! The illustrations are mind blowing!

Such a great publication.

Thank you, Rebel Girls, for the advance reading copy.
