Every Girl Tells a Story: A Celebration of Girls Speaking Their Minds
by Girl Scouts of the USA
from Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing
Someday 12-year-old Olivia wants to open an orphanage for Chinese girls. Tamika, age 15, loves writing hip-hop songs. 17-year-old Valerie was afraid of heights until she decided to face her fears on an Outward Bound trip designed to help students stay in school. These girls, and more than 80 others, appear in a big, attractive volume of photo essays put together by documentary photographer Carolyn Jones in collaboration with the Girl Scouts of America. In stunning color and black-and-white photos, Jones creates illuminating portraits of the girls, but allows them to tell their stories with their own words. "I think we should just reach out to people," says Lauren. Erin says, "I've come this far and I can take anything that comes my way." And pithy Briana says, "Think big." The girls articulately and passionately speak their minds about volunteer work, family illness, racism, sports, education, homelessness, divorce, and their own remarkable accomplishments. Readers of all ages--male and female--will be inspired and heartened by this handsome celebration of the women of tomorrow. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter
Every girl tells a story. Every girl wants to be heard. Listen to these stories, look into these pictures, and be dazzled by American girls:
"If your heart's in it, you'll keep going. Girls can do anything. Girls rule."
"The best thing my parents have done for me is to show me that it's okay to be myself."
"I'd like to open a clinic for women and children. That has always been my dream."
Working in close collaboration with Girl Scouts of the USA, documentary photographer Carolyn Jones has captured in words and pictures a lasting portrait of eighty-five American girls -- the girls who are our future. As First Lady Laura Bush says in her foreword, "My hope for every girl, everywhere, is that she, too, will find her voice and achieve her dreams."
This is a book for women of all ages, who will recognize the girls they once were and still can be. It is a book for fathers and mothers, who hear -- but may not always listen to -- what their daughters are saying. But most of all it is a book for girls, who will find themselves reflected in this joyous celebration of their complexity, depth, honesty, and glorious, soaring optimism.
