Lovely book!
I can appreciate the reviewers who wish there were darker skinned girls in the book (please note there are girls of different races and ethnicities in the book, but there are not very dark African-American girls in it). However, it is my adopted Chinese daughter's favorite book, so it's a 5-star book for our family.

Commendable concept, poor execution
I wanted to like this book.Really, I did.As a parent of a young girl, I'm all for children's books that are geared toward empowering girls and encouraging self-esteem.

However, this particular effort falls short.The text is made up mostly of empty, vague platitudes that are connected through forced, painful rhymes.Some of the photos are nice, but they mostly give the impression that someone spent an hour randomly picking stock photo images of girls and women.In general, this book feels like it was assembled from start to finish in a few hours.I can't imagine it would have seen the light of day without a celebrity's name attached.

Fortunately, we only checked this book out from the library, so we didn't spend any money on it and we don't have to read it again.

Disappointed in shipping
The book, itself, is perfect and was delivered in new condition. I was very disappointed in Amazon's shipping. This book was a gift and was guaranteed delivery by Christmas; however, it did not arrive until Dec. 29. Amazon's customer service was helpful though.

I loved this book!
I am a dark skinned mother and am very aware, having biracial children, of the images they are exposed to. There is a picture of at least one dark skinned girl in the book that I can think of off the top of my head. There is a young beautiful dark skinned preteen listening and dancing to her music. I love the fact that this book shows girls and women of all shades.

Good book for Little Girls
This book is a good book for little girls. I wish I had some like this when I was growing up. The content is not magnificent and the themes are one dimensional, but this is what makes it so great. The simplicity of saying that we, as minority women, are beautiful and are sisters with all women because without us, there could be no world.

To a girl, that's saying a lot!

The pictures are very nice as well. ... Read more

Excerpt: Robert Matthew Van Winkle (born October 31, 1967), best known by his stage name Vanilla Ice, is an American rapper. Born in Dallas, Texas, and raised in Texas and South Florida, Van Winkle released his debut album, Hooked, in 1989 through Ichiban Records, before signing a contract with SBK Records, which released a reformatted version of the album under the title To the Extreme. Van Winkle's single "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard charts. Although Van Winkle was successful, he later regretted his business arrangements with SBK, which had paid him to adopt a more commercial appearance and had published fabricated biographical information without his knowledge. After surviving a suicide attempt by drug overdose, Van Winkle was inspired to change his musical style and lifestyle. Later albums by Van Winkle, including Hard to Swallow, Bi-Polar and Platinum Underground, had a less mainstream rock-oriented sound, and did not chart. Robert Matthew Van Winkle was born on October 31, 1967 in Dallas, Texas. Van Winkle never knew his real father, and was given the na...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=180532 ... Read more
