Girls Rule

Rate this book
This is a book for girls. For girls who are thinkers and believers. For girls who are readers and changers and dreamers. For girls who look for rainbows and friendship. For girls who are not afraid to be different.

Join one such girl as she narrates this book, becomes your friend, and takes you on a journey through all the fun, craziness, and challenges of being a girl in the world. She's here with words of experience, support, advice, and a whole lot of laughs. And she's even left some space for you to write down your own thoughts, memories, wishes, and ideas.

Along the path through these special pages, you'll find a shout of encouragement and a sharing of dreams for girls who know deep down that they have what it takes to achieve anything they want. You'll discover a celebration of the lives of girls--the smiley days, the dreamy days, the giggly days, the teary days, the victorious days, and even everything in between. Because every day, in a million different ways: girls rule.

I got this book as an 18th birthday gift. All women at any age I guess will be inspired by this, contains simple rules to live by. I got 3 of Ashley Rice's works and when the time comes, I am handing them down to my daughter to teach her how to be more herself, embrace her personality and to live her dreams and life to the fullest.

I was a very young child when my parents gifted me with this book. I never really liked reading because I found it to be a.. Tedious thing to do. I would only ever read my school books back then and that was it. I only read them because I had to. It was that kind of scenario. But they bought me this, I read it, and I loved it. It was a very enlightening book, so to say. Even as a child I felt it resonate with my soul, calling to me and beckoning me to become a better version of me. And for a long while, I'm pretty sure I lived by the words of this book.

Now that I tried reading it again, I realized how I have forgotten all the things I promised myself when I used to read this book. I am going to read this once again and remind myself that life is more than what I am letting it become. If you have a little sister or a young daughter, make them read this and hopefully it will help them like it did for me. And if you have already grown up into someone who feels like you are not who you are, I suggest you read this book as well. It might help enlighten you on some things that needed answers which you could not find. I am glad I got to find this book once again, because I do remember how much this meant to me as a child.

Es un libro demasiado bonito.
Pienso que todas deberíamos leerlo al menos una vez al mes.
Este libro te motiva y te hace sentir mejor, me gusto muchísimo y la lectura fue tan efímera pero tan profunda.
Me encanto y lo leería un millón de veces más. ❤️

Heck yeah, Girls Rule.

This was a childhood little book given to me by my mom in which I still read from time to time to be reminded that I was important. This little book right here empowered me a lot! 🤎

This adorable books is a great one for tweens! She is sweet, fun, positive and inspiring as she encourages all girls to follow their dreams and never give up. Even the girl inside of the woman that many of us have become! Read it with your daughter, or granddaughter. It's a joy!

I read this book in my childhood and quoted it all the time. Reading it again today feels like revisiting an old friend.

Es un libro de mi infancia, lo compré cuando estaba en 6to grado en una feria de libros del colegio. Es una relectura después de muchos años, me sigue pareciendo un libro muy cozy 🫶🏼

well the title says it all. kind of tacky for somebody who is like me. but i guess it is not bad for kids. plus the cover is pink (i don't like pink)But that makes perfect sense because it is made for young girls.

The only bad thing about this book is, I didn't get a hold of it when I was younger. But it's but a wonderful read when you're feeling blue and grey. And it's really great that I bought it when I was so that way. xx

This book is very short and doesn't have a story. A bit dull. For ages 8-14, and obviously for girls only!

Un libro que aunque parezca para "niños pequeños" porque tienes dibujitos "infantiles" tiene tantos mensaje positivos y que te elevan la autoestima, me gusto mucho.
