⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Living the Confidence Code written by Katty Kay, Claire Shipman, & JillEllyn RileyThis is a collection of real stories from girls around the world from a variety of backgrounds on how they created confidence. “Confidence is what turns our thoughts into actions”. My 3rd grader was in awe of the stories in this book. There were so many from all walks of life and some from very underprivileged backgrounds. My daughter especially liked the graphic illustrations of some of the stories. It made f...
I skimmed, more than read. This is definitely a book for middle school girls. The girls profiled are amazing but the book is difficult to read (for me anyway). Different fonts, different sizes, some parts are like graphic novels. Just not my thing.
Great for preteens and teens. Super motivating and great messages for amazing young women
I listened to this and it’s fabulous. It’s a collection of stories of inspirational young girls who are making big changes in their world- from doing something about poor drinking water quality, to addressing period poverty, to ensuring access to education. These are people who are being the change they want to see in the world and their persistence and courage and tenacity is awesome.Highly recommend for all tweens (boys too because they need to hear these stories just as much).
The stories here are truly inspirational and can really motivate you. They are great stories to read if you are feeling down or if you need faith in humanity. There is lots of faith in this book. Everybody should read this books. Especially girls. Sometimes it feels like you are all alone. But this book proves that wrong. Be big, be brave, be loud, and don't be afraid to be you. -m
This year’s theme for Women’s History Month is #ChooseToChallenge. The 30 girls featured in this book do just that! One of my favorite stories of confidence from the book comes from 17 year old Thandiwe Abdullah. Since childhood, Thandiwe has had a strong sense of justice for Black people in America. When she noticed that random searches in her middle school were unfairly targeting brown and Black students, Thandiwe decided to do something about it. Thanks to her hard work, the school board has

OK, so in terms of reading-age/level this is aimed at tweens, but still an inspiring collection of stories from girls around the world, of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities and faiths. The stories are presented in various formats - comic-strip, Q&A, narrative. An very enjoyable read.
This book sucked ngl, I returned it after I read it and thankfully got my money back. it was good but it was boring and very bland.
