Customer Reviews

A wonderfully written and illustrated text. A visual feast.

Extraordinary Girls exposes you to the wonderful world of girls by introducing the reader to a variety of young women who are doing extraordinary things all over the world. A great book for any girl. Also, this would be a great supplementary book for use in a social studies class, or any class dealing with diversity and world studies.

Girls CAN!

Girls Can! Girls Do! If you have a daughter, have friends with daughters, or volunteer to help with girls' organizations, get this book and ask them to take a look. Before you know it, they'll have read it from cover to cover. With a smile. "Extraordinary Girls" is . . . extraordinary. It is inspiring. It shows girls how their peers around the world have set goals for themselves, then have achieved or exceeded those goals -- how they have made their mark on the people around them. Parents, friends, counselors -- and girls -- should read this book.j. lewis
