Reviews:
"A joyful and affirmative introduction to human rights for young people." -- Rebecca Traister, author of Good and Mad, All the Single Ladies, and Big Girls Don't Cry.
"A celebration of girl power in picture-book form. The art opens up lots of opportunities for discussion about what may trigger the articulation of any particular right. Right on." -- Kirkus Review
"Empowering, heartening, and simply beautiful, A Girl's Bill of Rights acknowledges a range of normal feelings for today's girls and validates every one. A must for libraries." -- Diane Magras, award-winning author of The Mad Wolf's Daughter and The Hunt for the Mad Wolf's Daughter
"This little book is full of color and wisdom and delight. It's very accessible, very down-to-earth. I wish every girl had a copy." -- Stephanie J. Hull, PhD, President & CEO, Girls Inc.
