The Girl's Book of Success
By Catherine Dee (editor)
Illustrated by Ali Douglass


       "Winning wisdom, tales of triumph, celebrity advice and more" fill this book with inspiration for teen girls. You'll learn just what success is, and it may not be what you have always believed. It can be as big as being the richest woman in the known world like Oprah Winfrey, who says she would do what she does, even if she didn't get paid for it. Or as small as helping a disabled person to achieve a long sought after goal.

       This latest in Catherine Dee's inspiring books for girls is loaded with inspirational quotes from famous women; powerful stories of success that will help girls to set goals and develop self-confidence. I started to just pick through the book, but found myself reading every word, and thinking how I could apply these life lessons to myself....though I'm no teen.

       These motivational stories will help girls to analyze themselves, develop leadership skills, handle the competition, and even how to fail and come up fighting again. This book would make a wonderful gift for your favorite young lady...you can inspire her to achieve her life dreams.
