This book was amazing!! I will definitely be purchasing this book to add to my elementary library collection. I know my students will love this book. The short stories will give them just enough that hooks them into the book to continue reading it a little bit more each day, for the next stories.

I remember my own childhood reading those popular short stories that were good for the soul. Inspiring Stories is exactly right! I really appreciated the affirmation practices and highlighted lesson learned at the end of each story. I enjoyed reading these to my 9 yo reader who not only shared a name with one of our many story characters but could relate to so many more.

This was read (in one sitting) by my teen granddaughter who is a great advocate for my younger grandchildren and reading. She decided to read one to her younger cousins each evening ,girls and boys. She thought that they were good simple positive stories that the younger ones could all benefit from. She also thought the illustrations were cute.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is a great way to teach children important lessons with a story that many can relate to or aspire to (like the magic of the garden) rather than listening to adults. It’s great that it’s written to the children on their own to help them feel much more independent and likely to take in the lessons, especially with them being short installments for them to fit in whenever they have time. I like the affirmation and activity at the end of each story and loved the free book for inspiring stories for young achievers a great addition.

This book is a collection of stories but each one has a lesson. First there is a situation or dilemma and then the girl in the story has to make a decision how to deal with it. It's like practice, where little girls learn how they can be responsible for making ethical choices. This is definitely the kind of book best read with an adult where you can discuss it.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, Book Ecke, and Sati Siroda for this opportunity.
Inspiring Stories for Amazing Girls Who Believe in Themselves contains twenty-one motivational short stories for kids to help them be inspired and overcome their fears.
I went into this book as an adult, knowing it was for children. Looking at it as an adult, a few of the stories were a little unbelievable, especially the first one. That one alone almost made me not finish reading it. I enjoyed the stories in parts five and six and I felt they were the strongest. The affirmations after each story was a nice touch and I do hope they help whichever kid reads this story.

Each story has a moral followed by an activity to practice the lessons learned, and morals discussed.
The structure, the lessons and the intentions are great.
The stories did not resonate much with me or my child, but other children might enjoy them more.

This should be a required reading for upper elementary middle school girls.
Girls often forget what they are capable of, especially at that that age, I know I didn’t give myself any credit and I hardly got any from home. Girls need to know that they are capable of doing anything they set their minds too, and even though it’s hard, don’t give into peer pressure.
Girls also need to read this to remember to be nice to each other to build each other up and not tear each other down.
