Advance Praise

" A must-have guide for growing girls and parents. Francisco Freyre. ""Girl’s Skills for Life"" is an easy-to-read book for young girls. It captured my girls’ interest and kept them engaged till the end. They were even sharing some of the activities included in the book with their classmates as the one show in my photo.

What makes this book different is its ability to seamlessly blend education with fun and practical examples of activities that I was able to replicate to challenge my girls in a family bonding activity. The diverse range of topics, from science experiments to sports and deciphering codes, captured my daughters' interest and sparked their curiosity. As a parent, I appreciate the book's emphasis on essential life lessons, that sometimes are overlooked when girls are that age.

If you're a parent seeking a resource that not only educates but also inspires and brings your family closer, this book is a valuable tool in your child's growth and development.

Highly recommend this book. TW. What a great book ! It is amazing how it provides a series of skills that girls 8+ can grow and / or improve, guiding them into an independent and resourceful life. Empowering and motivating them to explore beyond the common activities at that age.

This very well detailed and fun book that walks girls through many different life skill areas from cooking to sports, arts, science, math, entrepreneurship, environment and much more.

Más allá de los Skills, toda una filosofía de vida. Antonio Ortiz. Un libro, que para mi gusto, es la esencia de la autora. Una brillante guía de acciones, que no sólo las niñas, sino todos deberíamos haber aprendido desde niños-adolescentes, para poder consolidar el carácter y la disciplinal No cabe la menor duda que aplica perfectamente el dicho: ""Del tal palo, tal astilla"", ya que no sólo la autora lo demuestra con su poderoso estilo de comunicación, sino que ya veremos muy pronto los resultados y creaciones de sus adorables gemelas..... Un agradecimiento por compartir tu talento

Great tips for young girls, and even better that it’s all in one place! I will definitely be purchasing for my niece to have! I especially loved how simple the instructions were and the importance of having adult supervision when needed.

"Girl's Skills for Life" by Solange Márquez is a fantastic guide packed with essential tips and advice for young women. From communication skills to self-care, this book covers it all in a clear and accessible way. It's like having a supportive friend to navigate life's challenges!

This is a guide/reference book which offers comprehensive advice on life skills aimed for girls. The advice and tips cover many topics ranging from self-defence to empathy, basic cooking skills to essential money advice. The book is easy-to-follow and accessible. It is also modern and relevant. This is non-fiction, does not contain case studies or stories and has a straight-forward language. It is suitable for preteens, and teens. While empowering for the girls, it is a good reference for everyone. It summarises a lot of subjects, hence if you are looking for in-depth advice on any of the topics covered, be aware of this to set your expectations.

The best thing I can say about this book is that I wish I had it when my daughter was young. I missed a lot of the skills covered here myself when growing up which occasionally left me scrambling with my own kid, This would have been a huge help. And as I side note, your sons need to know this stuff too!

"Girl's Skills for Life" is more than just a book; it's a vibrant journey for girls and an invaluable resource for parents. It’s for all girls. It has nine different chapters. It starts off with cooking and then sewing. Then goes to money matters and life skills, girls in engineering and math, plus more. It is a book that parents and daughters can discuss. There are so many skills that your daughter can learn without being overloaded. Comprehensive and engaging, covering a diverse range of topics with a mix of storytelling and practical activities for you daughter to learn that will help her understand the world she lives in. She will be empowered.

This is a book that I wish for myself in that I would had liked to had been able to read and become aware of the potential that was out there for me to grasp and learn. It’s a book I would recommend each girl should read. . . And parents too!

Girl's Skills for Life is a detailed book of life skills, aimed at girls aged 7+ and their caregivers. It is NOT a book about puberty and the skills needed to navigate that - rather this is a survival guide that will help prepare the young reader for adulthood. It covers home skills, finance, safety, STEM (GEMS), politics (briefly), outdoor adventures and much more. Many of the skills outlined in this book - from cooking, washing, coding, sports, arts, leadership etc - are unisex, however the focus with this book is to empower girls.

This is a very text-heavy book, with AI-generated images, throughout - I would have preferred to see relevant graphics, photos and diagrams in each section, to give more visual leaners a greater understanding of the concepts - eg sewing a button, or photos of women leaders in their fields.

Despite that, the book aims to foster conversations between the child and their adult, whether it be about finances or the stars, and the comprehensive lists of topics included here do just that. It is region-neutral, so the skills will translate well globally, and is a handy guide I would have liked growing up.

A good book for girls or youth in general, to help them navigate the world around them.

~ Many thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review~
