Empowering Girls to Dream Big! Sweet, but secular, message!
This darling book cheers little girls to believe in their dreams, use their voices, talents and ingenuity to change the world. It celebrates women who’ve pioneered change and equality while encouraging young hearts and minds to do the same.
I loved the illustrations in the book and the heart behind it that tells my daughter to dream big and reach for the stars, that she is capable of great things and making an impact on the world. But I was sadly disappointed that this book held no faith content whatsoever. While there is a focus on speaking up for oneself, bravery, courage, strength, teamwork and resourcefulness within the pages, it has a secular message. I was hoping this book would encourage my daughter to become who God wants her to be, challenge her to know He created her as a strong woman, capable, kind and courageous and has big plans for her, but alas, there’s no such message or mention of God, at all.
So, if you’re looking for a book whose illustrations are adorable, diverse and inclusive while the message is inspiring but not necessarily faith-based, this may be the book for you.
