\"9781523505500_3D\"Strong is the New Pretty: A Guided Journal for Girls<\/a><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

By Kate T. Parker<\/p>\n

Workman<\/a>, 2018<\/p>\n

Strong is the New Pretty: A guided journal for girls<\/i><\/a> is a tween book that celebrates the power of girls from ages 7-14.\u00a0 The book combines activity, writing, and drawing prompts with photos, quotes, and challenges. The pages are colorfully decorated and invite doodling and note-taking.\u00a0 The blue elastic cord is attached with grommets and keeps the book from flapping open, and a colorful orange ribbon is sewn into the binding to mark the reader’s page.\u00a0 Strong is the New Pretty<\/i><\/a> is for princesses, athletes, bookworms, and dreamers.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a holiday gift for a young girl, Strong is the New Pretty<\/i><\/a> is inspirational and a perfect gift for a strong young girl in your life.\u00a0 If you can purchase it from an independent bookstore, so much the better.<\/p>\n

Though I usually review library books, this is definitely not<\/i> a library book.\u00a0 It is intended to be a celebration of one special girl, and used until it’s frayed and tattered.<\/p>\n

Note: My copy of Strong is the New Pretty <\/i>was provided by the publisher.\u00a0 See all of my reviews on my blog, Shelf-employed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
