With society displaying images of young girls wearing short skirts, tight tops, 7 year olds with cell phones and stick thin models it can be a challenge for young girls to feel empowered from the inside and learn to love their own mind, body and spirit.
My company Little Lotus Yoga teaches children’s yoga classes to children of all ages and I am seeing more and more young girls who struggle with self esteem and peer pressure as they attempt to steer themselves through our complicated society with images and messages of thin is best, pretty are those who wear short skirts and tight tops and being mean to other young girls is acceptable.
The book “You Are SOOOOO Beautiful” is a wonderful empowering book that highlights the beauty of self-confidence, inner empowerment and discovering that each individual is truly beautiful in their own way. This book welcomes children to discover their own personality; uniqueness and creating an environment that ensures children learn to believe in themselves and the beauty that lies within.
This PTPA Award Winner has been an excellent addition to not only our families bookshelves but within my children’s yoga classes as we emphasis the importance of inner beauty, self confidence, self esteem and celebrating each individuals uniqueness within the world.
I highly recommend this book for any young girl, of any age! It is important that we foster an environment that encourages young girls, tomorrow’s leaders, to feel alive and happy within their own mind, bodies and spirits.

I love your work and appreciate this wonderful tool for empowering our children and their Moms to recognize the beauty they possess!! Outstanding applause coming your way. I posted on my facebook page, my time line and pinterest!
I would love to share this with my daughter. I grew up always so concerned about my weight and what I looked like. I was a shy and quiet little girl who wanted to look like those other skinnier girls. I want my daughter to love herself for who she is. I tell her how beautiful she is all the time! This sounds like a great book!
I would love to share this with my daughter when she is a little older. As a Brownie and Guide leader I had the opportunity to reach out to young girls to empower them to be true to themselves by teaching them skills to be independent strong women and that they can do anything. Guiding also has a great badge that discusses these issues with the girls and gets them talking about how media affects and they talk it through together to learn that every one is special in someone else’s eyes, etc.
What a fantastic book! I would empower my daughter with it so she knows how truly amazing and loved she is for WHO she is not what others think she should be. Thank you for having this giveaway.
AS a mother to a daughter. I try daily to shape her into an amazing little girl. I teach her self love daily. It’s very important to teach these values and love at a young age. I am very interested in empowering her with this amazing book. @inRdream
