  1. Recommendation 13+ A Distant Prospect

    Quietly self-published in Australia in 2012, this richly-woven tale sees four school-age girls in 1928 Sydney overcoming the lasting impacts of the Great War on their families.

    One girl is a childhood polio survivor, two have lost their mothers in tragic circumstances, and two their fathers, but music (they form a string quartet), friendship, and the sacrifices of adults reeling from war's effects, provide strength and support as they uncover a terrible secret, and ultimately find hope and identity, despite sadness and suffering yet to come.

    Just selected for 2015 summer reading lists by a US education provider. Highly recommended…

  2. Recommendation: Agora Arts

    Agora Arts is a creative studio that teaches music, creative movement, as well as Aerial Acrobatics. They accept people from ages 8-100+. They are compiled of mostly females, but they cater to males as well...

    My 10 year old and 6 year old attend classes here. This studio has transformed their minds and bodies into superhuman powerhouses of creative, confident, and amazing little girls.

    My oldest started Aerial classes a little over 6 months ago and is just out of control amazing. To top it off she went from being shy and self conscious to very outgoing, strong, and confident!…

  3. Step-parenting resources

    I have been following you on facebook for a few months and I love the encouraging posts and the book recommendations. I enjoy looking through the book suggestions and I love the books I've purchased so far!

    I noticed that there isn't a section for step-parenting (or I haven't found it). I would really love to have some books/resources on step-parenting and handling some of the unique issues that come with it. Do you have any suggestions?

  4. book suggestion: The Nina books, by Madhvi Ramani

    The Nina series features Nina - a mighty girl - who travels to different countries using her aunt's magical garden shed. She is smart and adventurous and my daughter loves her! There rare three books in the series so far:
    Nina and the Kung Fu Adventure
    Nina and the Magical Carnival
    Nina and the Travelling Spice Shed

    Nina is Indian and she meets diverse characters on her journies so children can learn about different cultures and countries (there are facts at the end of each book to supplement learning). Please add!

  6. Book Recommendation: Call Me Hope by Gretchen Olson

    I'd like to recommend "Call Me Hope," a middle grade novel (5th-8th grade). The story follows 11-year-old Hope Elliot as she begins her sixth grade year excited for the annual spring Outdoor School. But life begins to unravel as she struggles to live under the pressure of her verbally abusive mother. With increasing strain of her mother's abuse, Hope creates a secret haven and finds comfort from Holocaust stories, especially "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl." The book has received numerous awards including the Kentucky Blue Grass Award, voted favorite book by 6th-8th grade readers in the state. School…

  7. recommendation: Super Lexi by Emma Lesko

    Super Lexi is a great new series by Emma Lesko, about Lexi, a girl who takes the differences between herself and the other kids in her school, and sees them as "super powers."

    Very empowering for kids who tend to think outside the box!

  8. Math/Science Book Suggestion - The Girl Who Could Talk to Computers

    The Girls Who Could is a new series from Earth Lodge Publications for young readers, telling inspirational, fun stories about real women who've done big things. The first book in the series came out last month (The Girl Who Could Talk to Computers, by Maya Cointreau) and tells the story about Grace Hopper, the woman who wrote the first computer programs and came up with the term "debugging" by finding a moth in a computer mainframe. The kids and teachers at my daughter's preschool love it!

  9. Recommendation: When God Was a Little Girl

    This is a short story I wrote for my daughter -- now turned into a beautiful children's book; we just won a 2014 Silver Award from the national Nautilus Book Awards. Both playful & profound, the story retells creation through the image of God as a little girl doing an art project. On each page God appears as a little girl with different ethnic features. The tale is told as a gentle conversation between father & daughter, with care given to both diversity and ecology in the telling. It is NOT cutesy, but rather at once simple and profound. A…

  10. recommendation: Killer of Enemies by Joseph Bruchac

    Killer of Enemies is a fantastic, post-apocalyptic book by Joseph Bruchac featuring an Apache girl as the protagonist. She's a monster hunter, an independent thinker, and a strong voice. (Her name is Lozen, after a similarly strong-willed historical Apache woman.) It's definitely well worth a read, and Lozen is a hero to remember.

  15. Music

    My grand-daughter loves to sing and act-out "I Have Confidence" from The Sound of Music.
    Also, I recommend Rosemary Clooney's album, Mothers and Daughters.

  17. My Hero at Home - Turning children into heroes

    I need some moms opinions: I'm starting a project where I turn children into their own heroes through cartoons and then making posters where they are the stars of their own stories (from magic to art activities or sports). I think it is a good option to incentive the dialogue between children and parents, and help their self-esteem. As a mother, it makes sense to you? What is the difference between creating a world full of princesses for your daughter where she is just a witnesses or making her part of that world? At least during that phase... please, visit…

  18. Groovy Girls

    We love groovy girls dolls at our house. They are available at most toy stores (including Indigo), and I think they'd be a great addition to your toy collection. I started looking into them when my daughter (then 18 months) started talking about Barbie. I'm not ready for Barbie to have a presence in our house just yet, but Groovy Girls (colourful, plush, diverse) I'm okay with.

  19. Safe online discussion forum for girls

    First, I want to say I'm a HUGE fan of A Mighty Girl's website and Facebook page even though I'm a mom to an only child who's a boy. What you do for female empowerment is incredible. I love your features and online presence.

    Second, I was brainstorming further yesterday about your website, wondering if you had an online forum for girls to safely chat with each other and if so, if there was an option of pairing older girls with younger girls as a buddy system or pairing women with girls as a mentoring system. I looked and don't…
