Audrey might only be three months old but she is never too young to have words of affirmation read to her. Words about how much she is valued. As a woman. As a child of God. As an individual with rights.

Written by Rachael Denhollander (the "whistleblower" of the Larry Nassar/USA Gymnastics scandal), "How Much is a Little Girl Worth" subtly speaks to abuses and how girls are worth so much more than that. Their voice is so much more. They are priceless.

It might be a picture book but I found this book worthwhile even for me. ( )

I wish this book could be gifted to every girl as they enter preschool, then again as they walk into junior high, and once more when they graduate high school. The message in this colorful, whimsically-illustrated children's book is deep and meaningful to every female on the planet. Some young mothers, grandmothers, sisters and aunts will cry their way through this as they read to the little ones in their life, because no one ever told them (the adults) the truths found here.

Dads, let your daughters hear your voice read these words over them. You will be amazed at the strength that will build in their souls.

Wow. Looks like I have a few extra copies to buy for my own daughter and nieces...

This message is beautifully written to open conversation with your young girls. I actually read it with both my son and daughters and changed the words to add boy because this message is needed for both. Rachael has extended her message of empowerment by writing this book for young ones. Give them the power to know their worth and importance. After following the trial and podcasts and learning more about all that Rachael and her fellow athletes went through; a book like this is what we need. The conversation needs to ge delicately started with children and then expanded on and here is the reference you will need. ( )

This book is a lovely, inclusive book that encourages girls to remember their worth, no matter what the world tells them. Author Rachael Denhollander uses beautiful illustrations from Morgan Huff to bring to life the message that all ladies, young or old, need to hear.

I appreciated the fact that girls of all shapes, sizes, colors and abilities were featured in this beautiful book. I don't usually get to have books geared towards girls in my house, but I have a list of friends who I plan on gifting a copy of this book to. It is simply a truthful, uplifting book that will be a great reminder over the years.

If you have a niece, friend, daughter or granddaughter, this is one to buy them. I would also think this could be used as a sweet treasure for a college student before she leaves for school, graduation gift. It lends itself to be read aloud to a group or shared at bedtime. The lessons therein are important for any woman to remember.

I was an early reader, thanks to the author and Tyndale House Publishers. All opinions are my own and I chose to leave a review. ( )
