Description

Girls being fearless. Girls being silly. Girls being wild, stubborn, and proud. Girls whose faces are smeared with dirt and lit up with joy. So simple and yet so powerful, Strong Is the New Pretty celebrates, through more than 175 memorable photographs, the strength and spirit of girls being 100% themselves. Real beauty isn’t about being a certain size, acting a certain way, wearing the right clothes, or having your hair done (or even brushed). Real beauty is about being your authentic self and owning it. Kate T. Parker is a professional photographer who finds the real beauty in girls, capturing it for all the world to see in candid and arresting images. A celebration, a catalog of spirit in words and smiles, an affirmation of the fact that it’s what’s inside you that counts, Strong Is the New Pretty conveys a powerful message for every girl, for every mother and father of a girl, for every coach and mentor and teacher, for everyone in the village that it takes to raise a strong and self-confident person.

    • Lacks diversity.
While the premise is great and positive, there are very few Asians. The world isn’t just black and white. Would have been nice to show my Asian daughter that there are strong girls that look like her too.

    • My daughters felt inspired reading this book
After getting the book today, both my young daughters kept begging me to read additional pages and both separately asked if they could be the ones to keep it in their room to read before falling asleep. I thought it would be a good coffee table book in our house, but had no idea it would resonate with them quite that much. I purchased it after my youngest experienced some bullying at school after getting a pixie (very short) haircut that she was very proud about. I loved that the intro to the book happened to talk about girls and short hair cuts. After going through many pages of the book, my daughter asked if I could take photos of her being strong and she could write about how she is strong. So glad to have come across this book! ... show more

    • Highly Recommend for 21st c. Girls
I sent this book to my six-year-old "No princesses!" and "No pink!" granddaughter Sophie because she is athletic: she swims, climbs, hikes, rides a bike, and competes with her older brother. She is who she is and is determined and fierce and joyful with whatever she attempts to do. Recently she's been shinnying up street signs in San Francisco, where her family lives. She made her own Halloween costume this year: the heroine from How to Train Your Dragon. The young girls inside this book talk about their lives in a paragraph accompanying each photograph. The book is divided into nine sections: Confident Is Strong, Wild Is Strong, Resilient Is Strong, and so on. I also bought the book as a Halloween treat for the three little girls who live in the house behind me, kindergarten through sixth grade. Their dad built a balance beam for them where they practice walkovers and other amazing gymnastics. Each goes to her own after school program: ballet, water polo, and gymnastics. Their dad told me that they all sat pouring over the pictures in the book, heads together, discussing what they saw. Perfection. ... show more

    • An Amazing Book!
Last weekend I took my 15 yr old daughter to a very upscale store to buy her the "nice" makeup and beauty products. To my dismay she didn't want any part of it. she fought me (argued) at everything I tried to show her. I gave up and we left. With my feelings hurt I went on and on fussing about her being ingrateful etc. I finally realized she was silently crying. I pulled over into a parking lot, got out and came to her side. I held her and apologized for my actions. After I asked her forgiveness and she felt better , we went to her favorite bookstore and as she shopped I saw this book. The title really hit home and I bought the book for her and me. We are spending time looking through it together and discussing it together. Thank you so much for this awesome book. Full of beautiful pics, stories and lessons of what girls should aspire to. It has certainly touched this mom. ... show more

    • A beautiful book that has captured the imagination of my daughter and sons.
This special book has sparked many interesting conversations in my family--not only among the kids, but with my husband and I, too. We have given it as gifts and my 10-yr old daughter has shown it to every friend she has. I hope this is the first of many "Strong" books and would also love to see a similar book featuring boys challenging male stereotypes. A worthwhile purchase for anyone, but especially meaningful for kids between the ages of 6&16, IMO. ... show more

    • My girls love it
I first skimmed this book in a bookstore and then ordered here on Amazon for my 2 daughters - 8 and 5 years old. Looking through it originally, I liked format of the book, which is pictures of actual subjects doing something they love along with a quote from them. The positive messages are also the things we try to instill in our girls daily. What I didn't quite expect is just how drawn my daughters would be to it. My 8 year old loves to read, and after handing her this book she proceeded to spend the next 2 hours reading every page. She absolutely loved it and showed me all her favorite pages. My 5 year old is just learning to read so we read it together, and she was also very engaged. On pages where there were multiple girls she wanted to know who was the one quoted. Today, and I'm sure more so in the future, young girls are misguided about what really matters. So much in society is placed on what others think (especially given social media), and I'd like for my girls to have a better foundation than that. Seeing the positive & "can do" quotes in this book, spoken by girls that they can relate to, can help them form that inner strength that will propel them in their lives. ... show more

    • Beauty and power
This book is just amazing. The photography is beautiful, and the short and simple quotes from all the girls are powerful. I love the few paragraphs of vision for each section, as well. It's a perfect book to flip through for encouragement and inspiration for any girl.

    • Not what I thought
I thought this book was a self help book for young girls , instead it is boring and only has 2 liner or paragraph phrases for each picture , more like a picture book . its nothing my daughter would admire or get anything of substance out of . And too boring for much younger girls in my opinion . BORING , lacks substance . A picture book . ... show more
