"We are sisters of this Earth-member of one powerful tribe. Every color, age, and size, we're united by beauty inside." With girls comparing everything about themselves to others - and often forced to take a back seat to boys - books like this one are a treat. Author Jada Pinkett Smith celebrates women's diversity as well as our unity. We are magnificent, the author seems to be saying, each and every one of us. It's a thoroughly inclusive book; women and girls of all ages and ethnic backgrounds are lovingly photographed here. Delightful photographs illuminate the author's lovely, lyrical poem and show the many faces of girlish and womanly beauty. The effervescence of one cartwheel-performing child is simply delightful.
This is a book about warmth, caring, love, and the strength we get from female friends and family members. It's perfect for mothers and daughters to read together, and for girlfriends to share.
But it's not just a feel-good book. Feeling good about ourselves also takes effort: "We girls hold up this world as we build our self-esteem. We know that discipline will turn a princess into a queen."

"We are sisters of this Earth - members of one powerful tribe. /Every color, shape, and size, we're united by beauty inside." Artistic photographs enhance the positive message of Jada Pinkett Smith's inspiring poem. A renowned actress and loving mother, Smith brings warmth and heart to this celebration of young women. While so many girls today struggle with self-doubt, this poem focuses on the power all girls have within them, regardless of color or creed. This is the perfect book for mothers, daughters, sisters and friends to give and to share again and again.

Jada Pinkett-Smith is a terrific role model for girls. She is accomplished in her professional and personal life. Her book is another testimony to her great attitude for girls to follow. Any book that aims to help girls feel better about themselves and to stand up for themselves is commendable. |

The reviewer who couldn't get beyond photographic technical issues (of which there are none) missed the whole purpose of the book: we "girls" must hold each other up as we hold up the world." The poem would have been swallowed up and ignored if there were slick, Madison Avenue, glossy (and seemingly staged) photographs. There is nothing that will help more in building and fostering self-esteem than little girls seeing reflections that resemble them. It's just a wonderful book to give to the mother of the newly-born baby girl...or the Diva girlfriend who has just finished her Master's program. |

This book is excellent for a broad range of readers. Even though it is in the format of a children's book, the content is a perfect starting point for a thought-provoking conversation about identity, equality, self-esteem, and empowerment for all ages, ethnic groups, and sexes. While the focus is on girls, the lessons are just as important for boys. The appreciation for, and understanding of the book's ideas are easily adapted to the level of the reader. |

I found this book to be pretty good indeed, Nothing like a book to make one feel worth while, a truly feel good about yourself book, I would recommend this book to many females that just don’t have the self esteem that they should have, for we are all wonderful people.
A recommendation from my point of view: Poetry that holds, Stories untold, another wonderful book, which I would recommend to any and everyone!
