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 readers of Dear Girl and I Am Enough and have kids poring over 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. With bright portraits in Vanessa's signature style of vibrant colors and unique patterns and fabrics, this book invites readers to find themselves and each other within its pages.

一首写给所有女孩的赞歌。这本诗集充满了关于各种各样的女孩——快乐的、悲伤的、害怕的、有力量的；有的喜欢自己的身体，有的不喜欢；乡村女孩，城市女孩；有的女孩爱自己的妈妈，有的希望自己有个爸爸——的小故事，每一个故事都引人入胜。这本书邀请读者们在里面找到自己和彼此。
