Shine, My Amazing Girl: Inspiring Stories That Help Build Confidence And Self-Esteem (Motivational Gifts for Girls)

Reading this was confidence in itself because the read happened in a good way. Thus the reading had a lot of shiny moments

Shine, My Amazing Girl is a collection of stand alone short stories that each contain wisdom and inspiration for young girls. Each story follows a different girl through an experience that imparts a valuable lesson. The book contains lessons surrounding self-acceptance, authenticity, self-belief, inner beauty, courage, balance, standing up for what’s right, and acceptance. I like the fact that there is a little note of wisdom at the end of each story. Although the stories are about different girls, the girls are connected through their school so they pop up in each other’s stories. I think this is a great way to connect the stories and offer the reader some continuity across the book as a whole. I also love that the stories are written about girls from different cultures and walks of life. Overall, I think this is a fantastic book for girls in upper elementary and middle school. It’s very entertaining, relatable, and contains great lessons and encouragement for young girls.

This book is lovely and has such a warm, encouraging message. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and the print is clear even though the pages are on the thinner side. My daughter stayed engaged the whole time because the pictures are full of small details that kids like to look at and point out. The story focuses on confidence, kindness, and feeling proud of who you are, which makes it a nice addition to a bedtime routine or a quiet reading moment. It feels comforting and uplifting without being too long or complicated. If you’re looking for a simple book with a positive message that young girls can connect to, this one is a sweet choice and easy to read more than once.

This is a great bok to have a real talk with your children about how to respond when others are mean or not interested in the things your children are interested and make fun of them because of that. The endings to some of the stories aren't very realistic and so you may have to talk to your children more to explain that not every situation has a positive outcome.

My daughter, who is 9 years old, is currently experiencing significant emotional and physical changes. I carefully choose books that can impart valuable life lessons, and 'Shine, My Amazing Girl' is one that I particularly liked. Before recommending it to my daughter, I read it myself. She not only enjoyed it but also read it quickly and became deeply immersed in the storyline. She has a habit of imagining herself in the shoes of the main character. The book addresses several important topics, and after reading it, I observed that my daughter contemplated its themes for an extended period. She even asked me questions about how one should handle similar situations and shared instances from the book that resonated with her. It's not just a distant story; it felt relevant to her life at times. We had insightful discussions prompted by the book, making it a compelling and unusual read. The writing style is approachable, and as a mom, I highly recommend it

My 11yr old daughter loves this book! It has so funny parts in there too that made her giggle. She was able to relate to the struggles in the book as well. I believe it has honestly been a positive influence on her confidence lately as well. So highly recommend it to the girls out there!

This book has eight stories that are very good at giving ideas for girls on how they can make friends, deal with problems, and feel better about themselves. I read them to my niece, who was a little young for them (she can't read yet) but who was totally into them. She was so proud of herself when she was able to point out that a side character in one story was a main character in another. I think for a girl in middle school these stories are a great way to look at what is important to her and what could help in her life. If I saw how much my younger niece was into them I'm sure for a bit older child they'd be a huge success. I loved seeing the natural way the girls in the stories interacted with each other and that even the 'mean girl' had her moment of vulnerability. A great book!

Granddaughter likes the book & easy to read.
