for more information. It's downright tough, being a girl. Young girls are pressured more than ever to conform to expectations that are often not in their best interest. Nothing new, right? What is new is the creative approach to manage those challenges as provided in the book "Girls Lit From Within." Molly Barker, Founder and Vision Keeper of Girls on the Run International, in her new book, Girls Lit From Within, provides 3rd to 8th grade girls (or any woman for that matter!) six easy to implement tasks, which instills in them the courage to stand up to the challenges of adolescence, stay committed to their own sense of self and help them stay "on track" through the teen years. Her style of writing is warm, funny and right-on with girls in this age group. Girls Lit from Within joyously transforms the way girls perceive themselves and their peers and brings home the powerful message, in a language that is understandable to young girls, that our positive thoughts create lives rich with abundance, joy, gratitude and authentic relationships.
