Congratulations to Cathy Ogren who won WINGED WONDERS.

Last year I reviewed Frank Murphy‘s book, A Boy Like You. Today I’m showcasing the companion book, A Girl Like You (Sleeping Bear Press, 2020) that is co-authored with his wife Carla Murphy. Both books are beautifully illustrated by Kayla Harren.
REVIEW
And the world needs a girl like you.
This is the opening of a book that affirms the unique contributions, attributes, and potential of every girl in the world.
The authors and illustrator show how the world needs girls who are strong, caring, brave, bold, and willing to try new things.
Readers are encouraged to be diligent at whatever activity they try,
and to persevere through ups and downs.
Girls are encouraged to speak up because their thoughts and opinions matter.
Friends are important– to share good times and to be there when a friend is hurting.
A Girl Like You encourages girls to show kindness, be thoughtful, take care of their hearts, seek help when necessary, and be themselves.
Because,
This book will be useful in the K-second grade classrooms. It can be a great jumping-off point for important conversations in home or school.
