The Prettiest Girls - Girls are often held back academically, socially, and in other ways because they are taught from a young age that being pretty, behaving a certain way, and not pushing themselves academically and not exploring is the only socially acceptable way to be a girl. Girls are rewarded for being still, being well-behaved, and especially for being pretty. This book helps all girls see that true beauty lies within and every single girl has and holds beauty no matter her race or size.
