Book Review: The Girls Guide to Life

Jan 23, 2015 | Rita

A Girls Guide to Life

I am going to say that I downloaded this book from NetGalley because the cover just captured my attention. There was just something about it that drew me in and I  am glad that it did.

A Girl’s Guide to Life is a timeless book of warm and sensible advice for young girls, originally written by a mother for her own eight-year-old daughter. From compassion and empathy through self-expression and creativity, from thoughtfulness and helpfulness and good deeds through gratitude and heartfelt apology, from the incomparable joys of friendship to the importance of learning how and when to say no, this little book offers wise counsel that will be of use for many years to come.

This is the cutest book ever!  This is the best piece of advice that a mother could ever give her daughter. It is filled with all the things that, as a mother, I want to tell both of my girls but I know that there are things I will forget. So I am getting both of them a copy for their 12th birthdays (when they turn 12) in the hopes they that will not only enjoy it but will pass it on to their daughters.

    It is high praise if you have enjoyed a book and then want to buy your kids the same book in hopes they pass it down. I am intrigued wheat kind of adice this book gives. It sounds great.

    I often get drawn to a book based on the cover also. I have an 11-year old at home that this book might be good for. Thanks for the tip!
