I’m a Girl. See what I can be! - Thryft

Inspiring poems about tenacious Asian women's lives.

If empowerment and resilience stir something within you, "I’m a Girl. See what I can be!" serves as a beacon of inspiration. The blend of poetry and real-life heroism offers a compelling read, not just for young girls, but for anyone looking to absorb the stories of formidable women who've shaped their paths despite challenges. It's a celebration of determination, diversity, and the spirit of female empowerment, beautifully brought to life by artists who themselves embody the book's message of overcoming adversity.

Description

Inspired by the International Emmy® nominated online video series WomenTalk, this collection of poems features stories of 10 strong and courageous Asian women who hail from Singapore, The Philippines, Nepal and Thailand. This book is written by Eunice Olsen, a former Nominated Member of Parliament in Singapore, Miss Universe Singapore 2000, actress, host and Executive Producer of WomenTalk.Through this series of poems, Eunice hopes to encourage girls from all over the world to know they can be who they want to be and to never give up, just like these women role models whose stories give us hope and strength. This book is for the boys as well, who will play a really important role and be there to empower these girls, to respect women and to help bring our world to gender parity.Having also been inspired by many people who are differently abled, many of whom have been featured on WomenTalk, Eunice felt the best people to illustrate the books would be differently abled artists. 10 talented artists have interpreted the poems in their own unique way and have given life and perspective to the words in the poems.This book is filled with beautiful illustrations and memorable poems. Some additional features of the book include:- An activity sheet at the back that will give children the opportunity to think more critically about what they have read.- A glossary to explain some of the terms used in the poems.- A QR code which you can simply scan to watch the WomenTalk interviews of the ladies in the story.- Enjoy two perforated bookmarks at the back of the book that you or the child can tear out and use!Suitable for girls and boys age 6 to 13, but older teens and adults might appreciate these stories as well!
