poems for girls becoming themselves

"A contemporary poetry anthology that offers girls and young women wisdom and compassion for a vital, formative time in their lives."--, Publisher's descriptionPoetry awakens your inner world and makes all your feelings come alive. The poems in this collection-- chosen with girls in mind-- sing of diversity, self-discovery, and self-acceptance. Grouped by emotional experience, the poems give the reader permission to let go of shame and perfectionism. By accepting your own contradictions, you can embrace the fullness of who you are-- and of who you are becoming. -- adapted from flaps
