About this listen

An ode to the girl with scrapes on her knees and flowers in her hair, and every girl in between, this exquisite treasury will appeal to fans of Dear Girl and I Am Enough and have kids listening through it to find a poem that's just for them.

I am a canvas
Being painted on
By the words of my family
Friends
And community

From Vanessa Brantley-Newton, the author of Grandma's Purse, comes a collection of poetry filled with engaging mini-stories about girls of all kinds: girls who feel happy, sad, scared, powerful; girls who love their bodies and girls who don't; country girls, city girls; girls who love their mother and girls who wish they had a father. This book invites listeners to find themselves and each other within.

"A dynamic, uplifting, and welcoming world of girls." (Kirkus)

"Thoughtful, inclusive, and celebratory" (Publishers Weekly)

"Bursting with positivity, this would be a great book to use in primary school classrooms when discussing issues of friendship, diversity, and self-esteem." (Booklist)

Just like me review

My daughters and I really enjoyed the book. I like that it touched on the many different topics that a lot of children in general try to steer away from by trying to fit in vs being themselves. I love how she references these scenarios and gives them the necessary tools to own it and stand in their truths being nothing other than their authentic selves. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend book.
