A celebration of females, and women's and girls' power to change the world for the better, the brighter. And why we should let them do whatever they want with their lives.
What a picture-and-poetry book.
A mixture of whimsy, wildness, freedom, fantasy, magic, empowerment, diversity, and a call for kindness, joy, thought, bravery, rebellion, change, revolution, and community and coming together, for saving the world - just my kind of book. Everybody needs to read this.
We need to live in a free, equal, loving, kind, compassionate, peaceful world, for any of us to survive, thrive, and be happy. For us to be human.
Best quotes:
'We've been waiting for you
For the joy-making, ground-
breaking magic you'll do.
So never be labelled as
less than you are.
Be brave and believe in
your own guiding star.'
'Oyster-child, your
true beauty shines
inside as it grows -
You're the hidden
pearl, not the shell
that the mirror shows.'
'Be a fearless defender,
a honey bee with armour -
Guarding against the false=charmers
and harmers.'
'Be a wise warrior, a speaker of truth,
A fierce freedom-leader, a bold self-believer.'
'Listen in stillness to the unseen worlds,
Hear the cry of felled forests,
the sea's sad song,
The sighs of the homeless
who long to belong.'
'Be a barrier-breaker,
lead your rainbow-nation
In a sky-diving, multicoloured
murmuration.'
'So get ready for life,
planet earth has been waiting
For the gift that is you and the
hope you're creating.
Stay true to your dreams,
knowing you hold the key
To ignite the bright changes
that you'll long to see.'
This is why I read, people.
I shall keep coming back to 'Dreams for our Daughters' as a pick-me-up, to feel hope and love (and sanity amidst the chaos and madness) again.
Let us always do better, for our daughters. For future generations.
Final Score: 4/5
