How To Be a GIRL (An A to Z Guide for Tweens!) is a visual anthem for the pre-teen nation. Using art, photography, self-discovery, community service and creativity, this is a living manual for inner growth and a road map for world change.

This book educates readers about strong historical and contemporary women of every color, and creates
a space for them to explore their own unique and exceptional attributes...like confidence…. compassion… and tenacity. Along with photographs of strong girls all over the world, young women are presented with thoughtful journaling prompts and challenged with kindness activities and creative community projects.

The Journal Sketchbook is a companion book with inspiring quotes from notable women, plenty of open space to explore the ideas in the book, and activities such as bookmarks they can color themselves, happiness cards to hand out to others, and uplifting community challenges.

These books are a journey, from education…to self-discovery…to action. Young women will take what they have learned and incorporate it into their own lives and communities, blending their stories into the fabric of women’s history.

Using the stories of 26 Extraordinary Women to explore 26 important attributes, readers will learn to see examples of what it means to be:

INNOVATIVE
JUST
KIND
LUMINOUS
MINDFUL

And more importantly, they will begin to decipher how they can be all these things on their own path.

Girls are given an opportunity to:

Learn about amazing role models! Girls will be inspired by incredible women and will learn what characteristics helped them achieve their goals. Examples of the women featured in the book include... Sangeeta Bhatia, Oprah Winfrey, Aimee Mullins, Patsy Takemoto Mink, Corey Maison, Anne Frank, and many more!

Explore how the attributes of these role models fit into their own story! Girls will have space to cultivate all of those important traits. In what ways are THEY just as tenacious and extraordinary in their own life?

Plan how all of that awesomeness can be extended into their own community, with lots of little adventures that add up to big change! Girls can begin carrying all of this knowledge and compassion to others in their communities.

Girls will have the opportunity to continue beyond the books with additional resources, projects and printables on our website.

Along with the companion Journal and Sketchbook, this is the perfect gift book set for any and every young female in your life. Written by two mothers intent on raising fierce, confident and passionate daughters, this is our love letter to them, and to all of you! How to Be a GIRL! empowers and challenges the reader to look to women of the past and present, in order to write their own story of how they will change the future.

About the Author

Julie A. Martin is a visual artist whose photography and fine art work has focused on children and young women for the last 25 years. She has been living against the grain since she was a very young girl, and vowed that if she ever had daughters, she would give them a DIY manual for living an adventurous, unapologetic life as strong, confident females. In 2016, her family sold everything they owned to travel the world in search of a real-world education for their two tween daughters (Zoe, 13 and Delia, 11). Julie and her husband, Larry, expose their daughters to as many different cultures as possible, actively teaching compassion, strength, confidence and curiosity, empowering them to become unwaveringly fearless young women. Julie contributes regularly to Babiekins Magazine in the USA, and Somewhere Between in Australia. 
Kiki Fluhr is an artist and business-owner who has worked in the children's design world for over ten years. An Ivy League graduate that really should have gone to art school instead, she has degrees in Education and English, and is convinced a work of art or an amazing book can change the course of someone's life. Kiki is the mother of three shenanigan-loving children, and is hell-bent on raising them to be confident, expressive and kind humans. She has worked with numerous influential bloggers and authors, been a participant in the #changingthefaceofbeauty campaign, and been featured in publications such as Parenting Magazine, Earnshaw's, and South Shore Living. You can find her on the web...nowhere, because she vastly prefers in person contact.

    Julie A. Martin grew up in a small town in Mississippi, eventually studying photography, drawing and writing at Belhaven University in Jackson, MS. She left college to start exploring the world, and made Colorado and Oregon home for many years, while professionally pursuing her passions of painting and photography. Many years later, in 2016, Julie and her family sold all of their possessions and continued that exploration by traveling the world as full-time nomads.

    With her husband and two girls, Julie wanders the globe, writing and photographing, while homeschooling. Through the "worldschooling" lifestyle, Julie has spent the last 2.5 years exposing her daughters to as many different cultures, beliefs, and landscapes as possible to teach them valuable life skills, such as tenacity, strength, wisdom and compassion.

    You may follow Julie and her travels on Instagram, @artfullyuncommon for photography and @wild4living for casual family travel experiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for parents of girls
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018
I got this book for my 8yo twin girls. It is even more than I expected. The book works it's way through the alphabet. Each letter stands for a great charactor trait then a small bio on a woman or girl who exemplified that trait. For example P stood for Passionate along with a bio of J. K. Rowling. My girls were hooked by the letter B. Bravery. The bio was about Malala Yousafzai. They were facinated by her. Together we did some google searches on her to find out even more information. What I think I like most are the Now Challenge on each page. After you read about each girl or women there are questions and conversation starters. It give the girls a challenge to tackle or asks a question that allows for a bit of self introspection. What are they afraid of? What are they good at?
This book has brought up great conversations between me and my girls that I didn't know I wanted to have. This book has an journal that coinsides with the book. It has space for them to write and draw. It also has great activities in the back. There is a Kindness Scavenger Hunt and a Cleaner World Scavenger Hunt. We are visiting a local park with our Brownie Troop and are going to try to accomplish the Cleaner World Scavenger hunt. Great book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book that holds attention AND has great empowering message.
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2018
A friend recommended this book to me it to me as it just came out recently. I got it for my youngest and she adores it. It was so full of inspirational stories about women we should ALL know about, and it had such a positive message that all girls should grow up to be whomever THEY want to be. I also thought they did a really great job of showcasing diversity, with girls who had many different skin tones, and some disabled or differently abled children too. That's pretty rare to see, unfortunately, and meant a lot to me as my child has some health issues too.

Plus, the visuals are just stunning. Really captured my daughter's attention, and she's not really a reader. The bright colors seem to be enough to hold her focus as opposed to her usual YouTube preference. :-)

I absolutely love this book! It’s filled with inspirational messages for girls who are at such a tough age, full of hesitation, uncertainty and self doubt. The photos are beautiful and every single page is colorful and happy. I’ll be giving copies to every tween girl I know!
