We read a lot in our house. I’m constantly looking for good books, particularly for little girls looking for inspiration and role models.

I want to read them stories about bravery, creativity, stepping outside of comfort zones…and most recently stories about siblings, sisters, teamwork.

Here are four recent favorites if you’d like to take a look:

1. Francis Dean – a story about learning to be comfortable in your own skin.

2. Ladybug Girl at the Beach – a story about being brave.

3. Rosie Revere Engineer – a story about hard work, perseverance, and learning to embrace trial and error. (My favorite overall these days!)

4. Maple – a story about change, friendship, and welcoming a sibling.

Do you have any favorite books for girls, or kids in general? I’d love to hear.
