About this ebook

“This is the book every girl needs to make her dreams come true.” —Laurie Hernandez, US Olympic Gold Medalist and bestselling author of I Got This: To Gold and Beyond

Girls can rule the world—all they need is confidence. This empowering, entertaining guide from the bestselling authors of The Confidence Code gives girls the essential yet elusive code to becoming bold, brave, and fearless.

Packed with graphic novel strips; appealing illustrations; fun lists, quizzes, and challenges; and true stories from tons of real girls, The Confidence Code for Girls teaches girls to embrace risk, deal with failure, and be their most authentic selves.

Katty Kay and Claire Shipman use cutting-edge science and research, as well as proven methods of behavioral change, to reach girls just when they need it the most—the tween and teen years.

“Girl power depends on self-confidence, but many girls struggle to see how awesome they really are. . . . I wish I had this book when I was a girl – and I’m really glad today’s girls have it now.” — Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder of Lean In and Option B

“Gives tweens tips and tools to manage everything from stress to self-doubt to sticky social situations.” —Phyllis L. Fagell, school counselor, author and contributor to the Washington Post’s On Parenting section

“Confidence is crucial for girls, and Katty and Claire have figured out the recipe. Reading this book will help you change your life!” —Rachel Simmons, author of Enough as She Is

“Because the authors draw from a diverse population of girls’ experiences from differing cultures and backgrounds, any girl can feel at home in these pages.” —Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

I'm loving it so far! I'm eleven, and I'm working on to build my confidence. Because I'm going to the sixth grade on August 15th, and I'm really worried. Thanks for this wonderful book!
